Founded by best friends Jess Kaye and Rosie Williams, The OWN Studio was conceived from the desire to infuse modern-day aesthetics into the ever-changing world of bridal fashion. Upon first glance, brides will immediately notice the brand's signature contemporary and minimalist silhouettes, but after diving deeper into Kaye and Williams's collections, the duo's propensity for style, versatility, and design can easily be seen, resulting in a variety of looks that transcend bridal.
Another signature element for the brand is sustainability, which drives its accessible and direct-to-consumer business model. "Bridal wear is one of the biggest culprits of throw-away fashion. We believe this is a major issue and one that we are passionate about addressing—we call it our commitment to being ’sartorially sustainable’," shares Kaye and Williams. "This commitment means that every piece across all ranges has been designed to become a luxe wardrobe staple after the wedding." So for brides searching for a sleek and trendy dress that they can feel good about wearing, The OWN Studio is a label to know.
The OWN Studio 2023 Collection
Featuring mix-and-match separates, reimagined silhouettes, and pared-back designs, The OWN Studio's 2023 collection is a line of gorgeous dresses tailormade for fashion-forward brides. "Over the course of a wedding, brides want to be able to express different sides of their character and personal style, and they want this to be reflected in their outfit choices too. From playful to elegant, chic to sexy, it’s all about finding a wedding wardrobe that can allow brides to express all versions of themself. By building up and stripping away different elements of their outfit, brides can reflect every part of their personalities within one changeable look," shares Kaye and Williams.
Ahead, highlights from The Own Studio's 2023 collection.
As it is our absolute commitment that all brides see themselves in our coverage, our editorial team has worked with the brand to confirm that this collection meets the standards outlined in our diversity pledge.
