From corseted lace to embroidered tulle, today’s collections revealed a bride unafraid to command attention, powerful, poetic, and unapologetically modern. We moved between intimate ateliers and grand launches, closing the day with late-night drinks at SEPT, where editors and designers toasted a season in full bloom.

BERTA | Runway Presentation

“Lace, light, and the return of the corset“
BERTA’s 2026 debut signalled what the house called “the dawn of a new era” and it showed. Signature sensuality took centre stage through fitted silhouettes, exaggerated necklines, and hand-embellished lace. Strong shoulders, high necks, and sculptural bodices brought regal energy, softened by sheer panelling and delicate sparkle. It was powerful, seductive, and entirely BERTA.

DANA HAREL | Swan Collection
Dana Harel
“Structured elegance with romantic restraint“
Dana Harel’s Swan collection reimagined softness through sculptural form. Clean strapless lines, precise draping, and modern corsetry were balanced by flowing skirts and embroidered veils. With its Grecian one-shoulder drape, the standout ‘Ella’ gown was a study in effortless sophistication. Each look reflected the label’s signature: fashion-forward minimalism with a couture sensibility.

ANDREW KWON | Aquarelle
Andrew Kwon
“A dream painted in light and memory“
Presented high above Manhattan at Nubeluz by José Andrés inside The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad, Andrew Kwon’s tenth bridal collection, Aquarelle, unfolded like a watercolour. Inspired by Paul Émile Chabas’s La baie des Dizes, the collection channels the quiet beauty of dawn by a lake moments from Kwon’s childhood, reimagined through modern couture.

Sheer chiffons and liquid organzas shimmered under the light, evoking the ethereal presence of water nymphs cloaked in northern glow. Silhouettes floated with weightless ease, sculpted to reflect a strength wrapped in softness. Every gown felt instinctively feminine, deeply personal, and imbued with a sense of dreaming just below the surface.
With floor-to-ceiling florals and panoramic city views, the presentation itself reflected the collection’s essence: romantic, refined, and quietly powerful.
ODYLYNE THE CEREMONY | Her Majesty the Moon
Odylyne the Ceremony
“A celestial love letter to the divine feminine”
Bathed in moonlight and myth, Her Majesty the Moon was a beautiful revelation from Odylyne The Ceremony. Known for her reverent approach to bridalwear, Stephanie White conjured a collection that moved like a whispered incantation: fluid, feminine, and rooted in spiritual symbolism.
Silhouettes swelled and softened like tides, each gown a study in contrasts: bold sleeves with gauzy sheers, corseted waists cloaked in translucent shimmer. Pearlescent fabrics caught the light like lunar reflection while vintage-inspired shapes nodded to eras past—reimagined through a cosmic lens.
This was a bridal gown for the intuitive, emotive, and ethereal for the woman who walks the line between grounded and otherworldly. Like the moon herself, she is constant in her evolution.
ALEXANDRA GRECCO | Reverie
Alexandra Grecco
“A surrealist study in softness and structure”
Inside her SoHo flagship, Alexandra Grecco unveiled Reverie, a bridal daydream stitched from silk, shadow, and surrealist romance. Inspired by the quiet elegance of early 20th-century design and the boundary-pushing artistry of Man Ray, the SS26 collection explored femininity through sculptural silhouettes and delicate detail.
Signature silk crepes and chiffons met crisp silk taffeta and shantung in grounded and otherworldly forms. Wide scoop necklines, soft cap sleeves, and sculptural draping invited touch, while corseted interiors offered quiet strength beneath fluid forms. French lace details, scalloped veils, Juliet caps, sheer overlays added a vintage hush, whispering of eras past.
This was bridal with a painter’s eye and a poet’s hand. Intentional. Romantic. Suspended in time.
