About the Brand

Galvan represents a new kind of evening wear - modern, clean, cool. The London-based label was established in 2014 by four young women from the worlds of fashion and contemporary art: Anna-Christin Haas, Katherine Holmgren, Carolyn Hodler and Sola Karadottir. The Galvan brand represents their shared vision for a more cosmopolitan approach to evening wear - luxurious yet effortless, fashion forward yet timeless, and versatile enough to be styled differently and worn repeatedly. Since launch, the collection has expanded to include bridal, modern suiting and day-to-night separates.

Galvan has become a firm favorite with celebrities for their red carpet appearances.
