In case you were not aware, many ready-to-wear fashion designers also create bridal collections. In fact, Vera Wang started her illustrious fashion career as a bridal designer. Add to Vera Wang, Naeem Khan, Monique Lhuillier, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra, Dennis Basso, and many others, ready-to-wear designers want to expand into the 8-billion-dollar industry. And why wouldn’t they?
Badgley Mischka is one ready-to-wear brand that has done just that. For their fall 2023 collection, the fashion duo presented the collection as a part of a bridal breakfast at New York.
“We are using our favorite classic couture fabrication sumptuous satins, beautiful sheer chiffons, and georgettes, luxurious Mikado, gossamer laces, and crisp organzas. These dressmaker fabrics are used to create gowns of elegance and presence, crafted with modern constructions and techniques that result in gowns that look like a dream and feel like a whisper,” explained James Badgley.
“Our brides are more individual than ever, and that is the major inspiration for the collection. She wants to make a personal statement, and the Collection offers her many unique ways to create her memory—all with the classic BADGLEY MISCHKA style and elegance,” he continues.
There was a lot in this collection that many brides would love. Let’s start with the obvious. Like their ready-to-wear collection, there is elegance, glamour, and beautifully well-constructed bridal selections. And for that bride that is looking for the same thing that that Badgley Mischka bring to their ready-to-wear collections, the same can be expected for the bridal collection.
Our style harks back to the glamorous Hollywood of the Forties,” says Mischka. “The Badgley Mischka signature style I simple, streamlined and thoroughly elegant.”
“One zip and you’re glamorous,” says Badgley. “We like to keep things effortless. It’s fabulous if you can spend hours getting ready, but a woman should also be able to bring a dress to work and change there for an evening out.”
