DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: KATJA NUUTINEN

Originally from Finland, Katja Nuutinen has quickly established herself as one of London’s most sought
after couturiers. From her Wimbledon studio she works closely with her clients to create stunning pieces of bespoke couture and bridal wear. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Nuutinen’s childhood interest in couture started by making soft toys and teddy bears, before moving onto clothes for family and friends. She later trained for four years and gained experience in many aspects of the clothing industry, before moving to London ten years ago. She now runs her business combining motherhood (her 18 month old accompanies her to the studio/boutique daily) and couture design.

Alongside her bespoke designs, Katja Nuutinen Couture has also recently launched a collection of
clutch bags, handmade in the UK from soft leathers and suede. Hats, fascinators and jewellery can
also be created to compliment a clients outfit. Katja commented; 'Through a gradual learning process I've honed my focus for haute couture design and love working with my varied mix of clients, from; artists, MP´s, International Directors and CEO´s but more importantly ’ordinary people’. Those who want to enjoy wearing an outfit of their dreams whether its for a Bride or wedding guest, red carpet event or simply their moment to shine!’
