Bridal Trend Watch Fall 2010 from NY Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week closed last week and left us with a flurry of new trends to be on the lookout for. Here are a few guesses as to what we might see coming in bridal fashion this Fall and where the sustainable bride can spot them among current eco-savvy bridal gown designers.
TREND #1: All Over Texture
Badgley Mischka had a running theme in New York Fashion last week: texture. From oversized flowers to sequence to tightly cinched mini ruffles, wherever texture appeared it happened all over. Tip: Watch for gowns that use repeated texture from head to toe.
WHERE TO GET IT
Threadhead’s Callie dress flaunts texture from top to bottom with a ruched bodice and tiered hemp and silk blend fabrics. The gown is proudly made with chemical-free grown hemp, peace silk and organic cotton.
TREND #2: Stacked Skirt Gathering and Layers
Diane Von Furstenberg is drawing all eyes downward with the focus on bunched layers and bulky fabrics sitting at the hips and thighs. This is fantastic news for the straight-framed bride, as this style creates a feminine hour glass effect.
WHERE TO GET IT
Puridee nails it with their adorable “Shanda” convertible bridal gown (above) crafted from organic fabrics and peace silks.
For brides wanting the focus to fall lower on the skirt, try an attention-grabbing floral dress by Deborah Lindquist (below), made of organic linen and vintage lace.
TREND #3: Higher Necklines
Reserved for high fashion, creeping necklines were all the rage. Brides looking to model this vintage-inspired runway style can keep an eye out for gowns with jewel, high rising and bateau necklines.
WHERE TO GET IT
The Justin Alexander Pure Collection featuring organic fabrics, includes this show-stopping jewel neckline embellished with mother of pearl beads. In person, its a stunner!
