Galvan London is a British contemporary fashion brand designed by four international women.
German designer Anna-Christin Haas; American businesswoman Katherine Holmgren (who serves as CEO); Icelandic former model Sólveig "Sola" Harrison (who serves as creative director); and Swiss businesswoman Carolyn Hodler (who serves as sales director), established the Galvan brand together in 2014,[1] after frustration with not being able to find the right wedding or event attire for young women below the unattainable high fashion price ranges.[2] [3] Although none of them are of British nationality, they decided to base the operations in London, England whilst working virtually.[4] The textiles of their pieces come from Italy and France,[5] and their showroom is in Düsseldorf, Germany. Galvan is primarily sold at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus in brick-and-mortar retail.[3]
Galvan is often noted to be worn by celebrities on the red carpet, including actress Sophie Turner at the 88th Academy Awards.[6] Actresses including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lawrence, and Selena Gomez have worn outfits multiple times which had given a radar to the brand in its nascence.[4] German model Heidi Klum wore a Galvan "Pandora" gown, which is considered the brand's signature style, on her wedding day.[1]
