Glam gowns for bride’s red carpet moment
Renata Espinosa

New York—For many women, their wedding day is one time in their life where a high-end, couture (or couture-quality) gown is a possibility, and worth the splurge. Walking down the aisle these days is the bridal equivalent of a red carpet.
Mark Badgley and James Mischka, the duo behind Badgley Mischka, have dressed their fair share of Hollywood elite for awards shows and movie premieres, and Teri Hatcher is their latest spokesmodel. Badgley Mischka’s bridal collection imparts a similar sense of old Hollywood glamour and is always one of the most eagerly anticipated collections to be shown during bridal market week, which kicked off in New York this weekend.
In a salon-style setting at the Hotel Intercontinental on Sunday, October 21, a suite of 23 gowns fit for a wedding in Malibu paraded down the runway, and the overall mood one of restrained, grown-up glamour and minimal embellishment, a hot trend in bridal this year. “The collection was a little softer than usual,” said Theresa DiMasi, editor-in-chief of Brides.com, “but still in keeping with what they do best, which is Hollywood glam. There’s some bejewelment, but less than I’ve normally seen.”
