The Inspired by KAREN HARDY dancewear collection is a design collaboration between couture house CHRISANNE (the creators behind outfits seen on TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, Dancing on Ice, Britain's Got Talent) and the glamorous Karen Hardy. Karen is best known in the media for her role as a professional dancer on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, having danced her way into the hearts of the British public with celebrities such as Mark Ramprakash (winning series 4), Bill Turnbull, Evander Holyfield, Brian Capron, and Gary Rhodes. Outside the world of Strictly, and equally impressive are the many other professional achievements which she has to her name. Karen has won numerous professional dance championship titles in her career including the World Masters, International Open to the World, United Kingdom Open to the World, British Nationals, and the Open Italian dance Championships. Karen has also opened the Karen Hardy Studio in Chelsea, the UK's only five star luxury lifestyle dance studio which is the venue of choice for social dancers to top dance champions to practice and enjoy dancing.
Karen has taken this dance experience and her passion to create this new range of clothing. The garments can be worn during dance lessons, or they can be teamed with high heels for that special occasion. Each item has been designed with style and glamour in mind; created with high quality fabrics. The collection is perfect for those who want to make a bold fashion statement, without forsaking comfort. So whether you’re dancing a cheeky cha cha cha in the studio or looking for an outfit to impress, the Inspired by KAREN HARDY collection caters for every woman.

"Well, for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to create a designer collection with CHRISANNE. When I was a professional dancer it wasn't easy to find an outfit that fit in the right places & moved well. You'd constantly mix & match and hope it would work... Nowadays I see people every day in my dance studio and all over the world, from lifestyle beginners to my top dance champions, and all dancers no matter what level want to look glamorous whether they are on or off the dancefloor. These garments are perfect for this... As a woman you want to express yourself with your clothes. With my collection it's all about feeling confident & glamorous… and having some fun with it!"
