Erdem

Searching for second hand Erdem dresses or occasionwear? Step into the world of romantic storytelling, exquisite craftsmanship and poetic detail with Erdem - the London-based label that has become a byword for modern elegance. Whether you’re dressing for a garden party, wedding, or want to elevate your everyday wardrobe, Erdem’s signature blend of femininity and strength makes every piece a standout.

Founded in 2005 by Canadian-Turkish designer Erdem Moralıoğlu, the brand quickly established itself as a darling of the fashion world. Known for its painterly florals, delicate lace, and sculptural silhouettes, Erdem pieces are often described as wearable works of art - with a modern sensibility that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.

Erdem studied at the Royal College of Art in London before launching his namesake label, and his collections have consistently drawn inspiration from art, history, literature and powerful female muses. There’s a narrative quality to each collection, with clothes that feel like they belong to an extraordinary character from a film or novel. It’s this theatrical yet grounded quality that has made Erdem a favourite among royalty, celebrities, and women who appreciate elegance with a bit of drama.

The brand has been worn by the Princess of Wales, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson and Nicole Kidman, and has collaborated with major names like H&M, Barbour and the Royal Ballet - further cementing its place in both high fashion and popular culture.

Why Fashion Lovers Adore Erdem

Erdem is the perfect mix of high fashion and heartfelt beauty. Every dress feels special - not just because of the luxurious fabrics or meticulous finishes, but because there’s real emotion woven into each piece. His designs manage to be nostalgic and current at the same time, offering a rare balance between femininity, strength and intellect.

Signature details include:

- Painterly Floral Prints: Inspired by English gardens, historical tapestries, and Victorian wallpaper - each print is bespoke, never generic.

- Romantic Silhouettes: Think high necklines, ruffled sleeves, cinched waists, and full skirts - modern-day heirlooms with timeless charm.

- Rich Fabrics: Silk organza, jacquard, tulle, brocade, and velvet - layered and textured for depth and drama.

- Lace and Embroidery: Used not as decoration, but as part of the structure - always intricate and thoughtfully placed.

Whether it’s an embroidered evening dress, a lace-trimmed blouse or a floral midi that’s perfect for garden soirées, Erdem is a label that elevates any occasion.
