With New York Bridal Fashion Week Spring Summer 2017 finished, its time to take a moment and appreciate some of the lovely bridal gowns created by some of the most talented designers in the industry. Some of the skilled designers include Naeem Khan, Rita Vinieris, and husband and wife duo Sachin & Babi. They each presented wedding gown collections that showcased their individual styles and dazzling gowns.
The Naeem Khan Bridal Spring 2017 runway show presented twenty-three luxury, and incredibly detailed wedding dresses. The fashion show was held in his darkened penthouse showroom on 36th Street in Manhattan just off of Fashion Avenue. Mr. Khan expanded mainstream confines and created bridal gowns in pale blue, lavender and even black. One of the prettiest in the collection is a lavender thread-embroidered long-sleeve gown with open back and matching veil. This gown most clearly reflects his Indian heritage.
Rita Vinieris held a runway show for her Rivini Spring Summer 2017 bridal collection, and a fashion presentation of twelve looks debuting her Alyne bridal line. Both shows were held at The Standard's Highline Room & Terrace. The Rivini collection consisted of nineteen gowns. The majority of the dresses looked light, flowing and seemed to float on air. One particularly sexy wedding dress is Didi - a translucent beaded gown in a spiraling mix of hand wrapped flowers.
Husband and wife fashion team Sachin & Babi Ahluwalia held a lovely presentation for the debut of their Sachin & Babi bridal collection in their showroom at 132 36th Street. Their Spring Summer 2017 Noir Bridal line has twelve looks. Mr. Ahluwalia said the "Sachin & Babi girl has gown up, gotten engaged and now needs a wedding dress." He added, their girls "have always come to us for those really feminine, light pieces...and a lot of things from our ready-to-wear collections like the emphasis on bows; either on the hip or on the back are here. I always try to look at this collection from 360 degrees. In a sense you need to see the girl from all sides." Click on link to view more images from New York Bridal Fashion Week Spring Summer 2017.
