Rising star Felicity Brown designs for Erin O'Connor at the Derby Festival 2011

Felicity Brown, hotly tipped as one of London’s rising stars, is working with Erin O’Connor to create a bespoke dress for Erin to wear at the world famous horse racing event, the INVESTEC Epsom Derby Festival.

Erin O’Connor, face of the INVESTEC Epsom Derby Festival 2011, is one of England’s most famous models. So who better to dress her than up-and-coming designer Felicity Brown?

Since graduating from the Royal College of Art, Felicity has trained with some of the fashion greats, including Alberta Ferreti, Loewe, Mulberry and Lanvin. Since setting up her own label, Brown has showed as part of Fashion East and her deconstructed dresses are currently taking the fash-world by storm.

And not only that, Erin will also be modelling a millinery creation by Louis Mariette – a bespoke hat inspired by the Lilac Breasted Roller bird.

The Epsom Derby festival will take place on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 June at Epsom Downs Racecourse, Surrey.
