London based fashion designer Corrie Nielsen was chosen by Fashion for the Brave patron Hilary Alexander to create a bespoke showpiece for their 2012 campaign.

British model Jade Parfitt wears the bespoke Union Jack skirt with built in panniers and crinoline, topped with a boned corset and embellished with antique gold buttons.

Corrie Nielsen has donated the ‘Union Jack’ dress that took over 770 hours to make to the black tie event that will feature a catwalk show featuring the best of British brands. 

For such a regal evening gown, queenly accessories are the Royal Order of the day.

A few diamonds are essential to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee don’t you think?  In the image Jade is wearing the Vintage Lace diamond necklace. The scrolling surround detailing is reminiscent of lace and encases Ashoka cut diamonds. www.boodles.com   Price: approx £1,000,000.
