Mark Ingram loves New York City. After all, he was born in the Big Apple.
Still, in spite of New York City being home sweet home for Ingram, the ‘City that Never Sleeps’ continues to be a source of inspiration. And, as New York City has, in previous collections, Ingram’s bridal spring 2024 collection looks to the softer side of New York City as a point of reference. As Ingram so aptly admits, “New York City [is] the keeper of my heart.”
That softer side of New York City for Mark Ingram is the carousel in Central Park, Shakespeare in the Park, Strawberry Fields, etc. Add to those more tranquil elements of Central Park Ingram’s homage to Lena Horne, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, and Grace Kelly, you have a bridal collection that is the penultimate expression of elegance and sophistication.
That said, this spring 2024 bridal collection does not reside solely in a reflection on the sophistication of Hollywood’s Golden era or a 1950s sophistication, this collection has an array of modern elements that would appeal to modern consumers. Ingram employs the current fashion trends of bows, which is this collection are elegantly placed or are detachable. Ingram also adds subtle hints of sexiness, making this collection a statement on how the modern bride wants to dress for that very special day.
This season’s gowns have moments of color in lieu of pattern, using muted boudoir hues that compliment any skin tone and feminine touches wrapped in a perfect satin bow. The sixteen-piece collection is luxury couture at its finest with modern-day sensibilities and timeless design.
