"My inspiration derives from my belief that the bride glows on her wedding day with a halo, making her the center of a spiritual event. She is a symbol of devotion and tradition. Her dress reflects the eternal feelings she emanates with shiny and magical look: It is a fashion icon. I want my brides to look heavenly on this most important day of her life." —Inbal Dror

LEIN

"While designing FW20, the LEIN woman and her day-to-day was top of my mind. I wanted to create pieces that are permanent to her wardrobe; able to endure with ever-changing style and trends, but feel captivating and new. These are styles you can wear down the aisle, with romantic and memorable details and materials, and to your anniversary dinner for years to come." —Meredith Stoecklein

Pnina Tornai

"In a world where we are often fed with fake news, fake looks, fake truth... the only way to find our paths is to be real. Real with ourselves. Real from the inside out. Just Real. I have chosen to present 'Real' as a mosaic of different silhouettes and a combination of almost every fabric there is in bridal. This collection will walk down the runway on a variety of models representing almost every bride from every culture, color, and size. As real as can be, keeping in mind that the only way to achieve perfection is to accept our perfect selves as they already are—Real." —Pnina Tornai

For the FW 2020 collection, we were inspired by all the fascinating shapes and elements from nature, spring flowers and summer waves in particular. We incorporated those elements into modern and romantic designs using luxurious fabrics and laces. We are also introducing more bridal separates, including tops, pants, and skirts, which will allow brides to easily mix and match their own unique looks.

“Spring 2020 is about statement-making gowns in the spirit of Paris couture. This is an iconic collection for me, these dresses will have a legacy. Voluminous gowns with asymmetrical horsehair skirts incorporate intricate crystal embroideries, embossed silks, deconstructed bows, and 3-D petals in abundance. My bride is always the centerpiece, she is unapologetic, empowered, and radiates beauty. Her image lives on as she dances the night away.”

Anne Barge

This season, the Anne Barge brand will celebrate 20 years. Inspired by our very own vintage designs, the Anne Barge Fall 2020 collection is the epitome of combining timeless silhouettes with new modern details. Gowns from the Anne Barge archives are re-interpreted this season, bringing new life to traditional and classic styles. This collection will not only showcase the brand’s evolution over the years but will also pay tribute to its original roots.

Clean architectural designs are made with fine Italian Kalika, for a simple yet refined look, while all over floral Alençon laces add an ultra-femme touch of elegance. Layers of delicately floating tulle are accented with 3D textures and metallic floral embroidery. Jumpsuits, bustiers and illusion necklines have been perfectly introduced into the collection for a nod to the present-day bride. The Anne Barge 20^th anniversary brings meaning and depth to the brand’s past collections while also looking ahead to another 20 years of timeless yet contemporary designs.

Allison Webb

“Inspired by the American Ballet Theatre, this collection is infused with texture, elegance, and detail. Frothy concoctions are grounded in a focus on form; gowns are filled with sparkle and structure allowing brides to toe the line between classic yet contemporary, glamorous yet refined. Detachable bows have a starring role as do shoulder toppers, dramatic sleeves, and removable trains. Think Grace Kelly meets Swan Lake with a dash of joie de vivre and a lot of drama!”

Michael Fausto

After honing his skills in the ateliers of luxury houses across New York and Italy, designer Michael Fausto decided to embark on creating a collection of his own vision.

The debut Michael Fausto collection draws inspiration from the jewel box that is Capri. An unending spring of life and beauty, the island has been a magnet for artists, poets, socialites, and more for years. Whether you are having a freshly grilled fished at La Fontelina, or envisioning Homer’s sirens bathing near the Faraglioni, Capri offers glamour and excitement to everyone. The inspiration was interpreted into undulating drapes of duchess satin, intricate beading of bougainvillea, and dramatic silhouettes.

Michael Fausto aims to serve the modern heroine. Delivering a refined sensibility coupled with a flare for drama, this clothing is made to exalt women. Since the world began, women have worn the title of creator, mother, lover, destroyer, and countless more; and it is our goal to celebrate every incarnation.

Savannah Miller

Inspired by the Nick Cave song of the same title, Breathless is a collection of romance and beauty. The juxtaposition of contemporary music and archival fashion give this collection a unique and fresh point of view.

For fall 2020 Savannah Miller has explored the use of texture to create a thoroughly modern collection for the alternative, fashion conscious bride. The designer’s love of 1930’s style is reflected in the cool simplicity of dresses designed with sleek silhouettes and glamorous detail. She continues to explore alternative solutions to the traditional with the addition of a tailored jacket featuring a detachable Chantilly lace skirt and has reimagined the velvet cape she wore to her own wedding in billowing crepe de chine.

It is this timeless culture that, in one way or another, inspires our collections, because we carry it inside us and it is a fundamental part of who we are. Sophie Et Voilà's new collection is resounding, powerful, and noble, but at the same time it is feminine, subtle, and delicate.
