Our Story
Lupton Steward is the collaboration of Yorkshire fashion designer, James Steward, and the talented team at MLA, one of the biggest suppliers of police protective equipment in the UK.
For the past few years, James has been instrumental in helping MLA design and create a range of items from a low-profile blunt protection garment to flame retardant outerwear, but now, he is making a move back to the couture fashion roots where he made his name, with the support of the talented seamstresses and designers at MLA.
James will work with clients to create their dream, made-to-measure garment, for everything from mother of the bride to race day dresses to a one-off wedding guest outfit. There will be an initial consultation with James, who will sketch out a bespoke design. The team will then create the pattern, make the toile for an initial fitting, and then create and fit the garment.
In the past, James designed a dress for Kylie Minogue, which she wore to the Brit Awards after show party, a top for Victoria Beckham for an interview with Michael Parkinson and several red-carpet dresses for actress Katherine Kelly. He also designed singer Corinne Bailey Rae’s wedding dress.
