David’s Bridal unveiled its latest collaboration with BRIDE Vera Wang during New York Bridal Week (NYBW,) transforming SUMMIT One Vanderbilt into a sky‑level bridal dreamscape. With Manhattan glittering beneath the glass floors and 360‑degree reflections reflecting every silhouette, the presentation felt suspended between earth and the heavens. Models moved through the space like ethereal ghosts of modern romance with each gown catching the shifting light and turning the skyline into part of the design itself.
The collection spoke in a new bridal vocabulary. White was never the only answer, and Wang made that declaration unmistakable. In Blush, she offered brides a conviction that was sculptural, considered, and entirely their own. White tulle meets satin and volume meets structure.
Blush and champagne tones in bridesmaid dresses deliver softness with intention and craftmanship designed to move with the body and made to be remembered anchored the collection. She’s not the typical princess; she’s a woman rewriting her story. Unexpected seaming, sculptural bows, and peplum bodices created moments that caused us to audibly gasp, especially the strapless bodice paired with a voluminous ball gown skirt that becomes the most welcoming accessory to a flawless diamond ring.

Inclusivity in sizes and styles grounded the presentation as much as the venue elevated it. These gowns are going to look gorgeous on a varied spectrum of skin tones and body types. Against the breathtaking views of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, this collection affirmed a simple truth: the gown is only the beginning, and every bride deserves a moment that feels entirely her own.

In an era where bridal presentations often rely on grand runway spectacles, Katherine Tash chose a more intimate and arguably more powerful approach. The Los Angeles-based designer unveiled her spring 2027 Chrysalis Collection during a refined cocktail gathering at Jutta Gallery, hosting a curated group of 150 guests spanning fashion, bridal, and creative industries. The evening marked not just a collection debut, but a meaningful evolution of her eponymous label.
“It felt important to mark this moment with Chrysalis, as the collection represents a truly pivotal point for us,” Tash shared. “This year represents eight years of building the brand with deep intention—growing thoughtfully into the design house we are today.”
He continued to explore the idea of fantasy for his new collection, inspired by the dreamlike qualities of Salvador Dali’s paintings. While Siriano didn’t fully adopt Cubism, where subjects are broken down and reassembled in abstract forms, he played with proportions and exaggerations, much like Dali’s art.
The show opened with supermodel Coco Rocha wearing what, at first glance, seemed like a minimalist black outerwear ensemble with a corset jacket, but upon closer inspection exaggerated arms, shoulders, and a subtle flare at the top of the trousers. This hinted at the play on proportions to come, including a white feathered coat with oversized lapels, scalloped sleeves, and sculptural statement bodices.
Siriano aimed to blur the lines between reality and fantasy, successfully achieved through his use of fluid drapery and high-gloss textures. Rocha returned to close the show in a satin blue and green ombre gown with a balloon bodice, echoing the luminous contrast of a surrealist landscape.
