  • Erdem has new PR manager, which could be in preparation of royal wedding
  • The designer, who was born in Canada, would be a fitting choice for Meghan

Fashion insiders are tipping British brand Erdem to design Meghan's wedding dress -after the label announced that it is expanding its media team.

The designer - who is a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge - has appointed a full-time publicity manager, which may be in preparation for an influx of media requests.

Erdem Moralioglu, who was born in Canada, would be a fitting choice for Meghan, who may wish to make a nod to her former home.  

The former Suits actress, 36, previously wore the designer when she attended the wedding of a friend of Prince Harry in Jamaica.

The fashion brand is a celebrity favourite, with the likes of Alexa Chung, Jessica Chastain and Lily James wearing his designs in the past.

Princess Eugenie chose a frock by the designer for her engagement pictures earlier this year, while Pippa Middleton has also worn the brand in the past. 

Erdem's feminine creations and fondness of lace could make him the perfect choice for Meghan's wedding gown.

It comes after bookmakers Ladbrokes suspended bets on British designer Ralph & Russo amid speculation that Meghan had chosen the brand for her wedding dress.

The designer is one of the Duchess of Cambridge's favourites, having worn the brand on a number of occasions. She is pictured wearing a cream frock by Erdem in 2017

Rival bookies Paddy Power previously suspended betting on Alexander McQueen being the dress designer, after a flurry of bets.

Meghan has previously hinted at what her wedding dress might look like, after describing her ideal gown as 'classic and simple'.

Speaking in an interview with Glamour in March 2016, before her romance with Harry emerged, Meghan said: 'Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist.

'I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic.'

Meghan also explained that she would not choose a gown like the Anne Barge wedding dress by her Suits character Rachel Zane in season 5.

'It's not my personal style, because I'm a lot more relaxed than Rachel but I love that I got to play dress up in this gown,' she said.
