All eyes are on the latest look, the one dedicated to bridal fashion? Not exactly: because in every haute couture collection, historically notorious for blending years of heritage and preciousness, here it has been shown through the different releases that even a long plissé dress can turn into a magnificent and perfectly suitable dress to wear for the wedding day. This is the magic of haute couture, of all those hand-stitched details, of the fabrics skillfully hand-made that take shape and adapt to the body to perfection when they are worn.

There is the austerity of the wedding dresses by Balenciaga: the fiftieth haute couture show was at the hands of Demna Gvasalia, who had the burden of stitching present and past in a collection full of meaning, even if only made for the set and for “fruition”. The bride is traditionally white and completely concealed by a veil ton sur ton: all attention is paid to the tailoring of the garment.

Moving on to Chanel, which offers a long princess-style dress with balloon sleeves. Ethereal, unexpectedly short and dotted with crystals that conceal the bow of the hairstyle. Even the bouquet amazes – a simple bouquet of wild flowers.

Pure bucolic elegance for Dior: Maria Grazia Chiuri relies on a carpet of 3D flowers sewn by hand on tulle. The surprise is on the chosen shade, an enveloping sage green.

With Fendi we return to Ancient Rome: light clothes that open in important sails give a harmonic volume to the silhouettes. The garments are inspired by the pepli and are characterized by a clean line.

Designer Giambattista Valli focuses on volume, ruffles and tulle: stylistic elements that characterize his entire creative line, here they become couture wedding dresses full of virtuosity and redundancy. The result is a skillful workmanship of the fabric, sculpting the bride like a goddess. The romantic cape is beautiful: a bridal idea to be copied immediately.

Elie Saab focuses on preciousness: the jade suit and trousers have exquisite tailoring, while the fabrics are customized with crystal embroidery. The two long wedding dresses are the quintessential haute couture bride dresses for autumn-winter 2021 2022.

Finally, the bride of Schiaparelli: a contemporary interpretation of the bridal look straight from the 80s, with drapes and volumes that wrap the figure like a cocoon.
