One of the highlights of our bridal season was receiving a coveted invitation to the 35th anniversary of Jane Hill Bridal. Founded by the visionary designer Jane Hill and carried into the 21st century by her beloved daughters Bella and Jasmine, this collection is an homage to the 1990’s.
Built on meticulous workmanship and unwavering attention to detail, this collection is designed to make every bride feel beautiful on her special day. What Fashion Reverie loved was the film that played before the runway show that transported us back to the 1990’s. Bella sharing her precious memories of her favorite hiding spot where she designed her own little collection while Jasmine shared how their house was covered in sketches, fabrics and glitter, beads, and mannequins.
Her daughters would grow up and take over this family-owned bridal company (along with their father) on 2013 and this anniversary collection highlighted their mother’s legacy. Under the direction of Bella and Jasmine, they have grown the brand from one shop to having the collection carried in over 100 stores and bridal boutiques across the world.
The collection featured oversized garden hats, corseted dresses with thigh-high slips and exquisite lace. The hats and gowns in crimson produced audible gasps of glee and anticipation for what would glide down the runway next.

For spring 2026, L’Enchanteur transforms the runway into an aquatic journey, where sound, literature, and myth become one. The show draws on Drexciya’s Afrofuturist mythology of resilience, Alice Coltrane’s celestial jazz, and Leontyne Price’s operatic force to create an atmosphere that channels sound as spirit.
The brand explored fabrics that heighten the body’s energetic fields through megahertz frequencies. Color palettes draw from the deep sea, channeling the iridescence and mystery of oceanic life. Textiles range from floral lace and handwoven fabrics to textured leathers.
NARDOS presented their spring 2026 runway collection, “Whispers of Renewal,” at the majestic Pierre New York, A Taj Hotel, setting the tone for the dreamy show. The Shakespearean inspired collection was full of curvy silhouettes and feminine dominance. The 52-piece collection was reminiscent of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s” fantasy elements mixed with the romance of “Romeo and Juliet.”
What makes this collection special is the tailoring of the garments. In its entirety, the collection is easily adjustable for many sizes. The architecture of these dresses is designed for the woman’s body and comfort. They have couture elements; a woman can move easily in each piece making it perfect for a long night at a wedding or any formal event. The colors are also timeless, pastels, whites with fuchsia and green. “Whispers of Renewal” befits the quiet luxury trend but can be worn long after the fashion girls move on to something else.
