JUSTIN ALEXANDER GROUP RECOGNIZES YEAR-TO-DATE GROWTH AND SUCCESS

The Renowned Bridal Powerhouse Celebrates Innovative E-Commerce Launch, Bold Business Expansions and International Recognition

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Multinational bridal company, Justin Alexander Group, announces customizable e-commerce launch, Justin Alexander Studio, and reflects on a successful 2024 filled with healthy growth metrics, buzzy collaborations and industry recognition; rounding out a healthy projection heading into a new fiscal year.

Justin Alexander Group unveiled its online shopping platform, Justin Alexander Studio, offering customizable special occasion gowns deliverable in just two weeks, bridging the gap between short delivery times that digital shoppers have come to expect with the option for custom dresses that traditional bridal shoppers are accustomed to purchasing. These looks are made to order in the USA, produced with sustainable production practices and made by the brand’s tailors within two weeks of purchase.

“We understand that weddings come in all shapes and sizes, each with its own timeline – Not every bride has or needs months leading up to their big (or intimate) day or special occasion,” states Justin Warshaw, CEO of Justin Alexander Group. “We want to recognize the uniqueness of each bride and bridal party by offering gowns that are customizable to their preferences and still available in a short delivery window.”

This concept emphasizes sustainability by reducing its carbon footprint through US-based production, while leveraging advanced technology to streamline customization and reduce waste. The platform also sells intimates, casual wear, home and personal fragrance and limited edition pieces from its collaborations.

One of those collaborations launched in April 2024 married graffiti street art with traditional bridal designs. Justin Alexander Signature partnered with Milan-based street artist, Sexsdreams, born Gioele Corradengo, for their Spring/Summer 2025 campaign, “Verses in Contrast.” The collaboration was first teased during New York Bridal Fashion Week and then brought to life on the runway in a well attended show at Milano Bridal Week. It is another example of the group taking a bold step forward and pushing the boundaries between traditional and modern looks for today’s bride. 

That philosophy also came to life in the brand’s FW25 collection, Nocturne Symphony, which was unveiled at New Bridal Fashion Week in October. Nocturne Symphony is a collection inspired by the night and designed for the bride who dares to dream. This season begins with signature modern seaming and structured corsets, harmonizing with unexpected elements like exaggerated basque waists and couture volume. As the collection crescendos, it introduces gowns adorned with intricate 3D florals, laser-cut appliqués, and rich floral jacquards and brocades. Silver crystal diamantes, pearls, and corded Alençon laces add a touch of brilliance. The Fall/Winter 2025 collection is a beautifully orchestrated composition of artistry and design.

As a household name in the bridal industry, the brand also kicked off an educational partnership series this year with the prestigious London College of Fashion and Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, two institutions renowned for their rigorous academic programs and cutting-edge design and technology. Under Warshaw’s oversight, London College of Fashion students focused on cultural sustainability while FIT students in New York were asked to delve deep into the decadent bridal history of the 1920s to 1970s. The program set new paradigms to inspire change that resonates with evolving cultural and fashion landscapes, accomplished through Warshaw’s mentorship of the students, engaging with them through guest lectures and providing feedback on their designs and concepts.

Also in 2024, Justin Alexander Group, its leadership and its brands were recognized throughout the world for excellence in bridal. At the European Bridal Awards, Justin Alexander Group was named Best Bridal Supplier. At the Bridal Buyer Awards, the Justin Alexander Grove gown was acknowledged as Best Gown. The company has received such honors consistently dating back to 2001.

On the philanthropic front, VOW For Girls is Justin Alexander Group’s chosen charity partner because their mission aligns with the company’s values of enabling girls and women to access better opportunities to improve their lives. $10 from every product sold from the Thanks & Goodluck accessories line goes to Vow For Girls and has resulted in over $110k in donations this year, facilitating programs such as girls’ leadership clubs and community programs and helping to keep girls in school.

Support for VOW For Girls will continue into 2025, along with the expansion into new categories including shoes, jewelry and more via the Studio platform so the brand can cater to the bridal party and beyond.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.
