About Belinda: A history in fashion
Belinda's unique style is informed by her own progression through club culture and fetish wear to high-end couture.
After graduating in fashion and textiles in Bristol, Belinda began supplying her own designs to local boutiques and working with artists such as Massive Attack. Music and fashion continued to merge with a move to London in the design conscious '80s, where she dressed trendsetting artists such as Dead or Alive, The Pet Shop Boys, Cathy Dennis and Aztec Camera.
Street fashion and fetish wear were an important thread in Belinda's evolution. Following work for cult youth labels Artificial Eye and UK Today in the '90s she opened her own fetish and club-wear shop in Brighton - the award-winning "Snog on Rocks".
The cast of international leading ladies Belinda has recently dressed in the Beyond Bridal label includes Angelina Joli, Gillian Anderson, Rebecca Bottone, Greta Scacchi, Nancy Dell'Olio and Dawn French. Her corsets feature in the new film Anna Karenina, cinching Alicia Vikander and Keira Knightley.
