Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Watters
Playing with a bold color scheme that ranges from petal pink to midnight black, Watters and Wtoo keep it vibrant and young. We had two favorites while visiting backstage at Bridal Market and the two looks could not be more different from one another! Iridescent sequins swirl-round a ball gown in a lacy pattern while substantial knit […]

Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Leila Hafzi
We had the pleasure of stumbling upon international and eco-friendly designer Leila Hafzi. Working in hand dyed natural silks dried in the open air of the Himalayas, her designs evoke the kinetic environment they are created in. Rough cut edges and flowing, sweeping shapes in a palette of soft natural hues were a welcome break […]
Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Monique Lhuillier
The much anticipated Monique Lhuillier runway is always a highlight of Bridal Market. The stage was set with whimsical white branches sprawling upwards and across the ceiling for a fairytale forest effect. The models sauntered in a figure eight fashion around the two clusters of limbs allowing their frocks to fan out to their full potential. […]
