Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton became a household name after she designed the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress, and the same could happen to Bosnian Emina Hadzic.

28-year-old Hadzic, who runs British-based fashion label La Luna London, has apparently landed a royal commission from Kate.

A fan of both the high street and high-end British designers such as Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen, the Duchess has previously sought the bespoke services of the Catherine Walker Studio and Katherine Hooker. Aimed at a younger clientele, La Luna London has been worn by Hollywood starlets Cameron Diaz and Kim Kardashian. Ukranian singer Mika Newton was pictured in the label’s lace Jennifer dress at the Golden Globes last month.
