Elbeth Gillis
With Modern Muse, Elbeth Gillis delivers a collection that feels both timeless and strikingly current. ’Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood - a time of effortless elegance, timeless beauty and star-powered sophistication’, clean silhouettes and luxurious fabrics form the backbone of the collection, whilst embracing modern minimalism. At the heart of the collection is Jade. Crafted in dupion silk featuring a dropped corset bodice to elongate the waist, Jade is a gown that perfectly encapsulates the Modern Muse essence - timeless, elegant and effortlessly sophisticated.
Versatility and individuality run throughout the collection, through thoughtful design details and detachable elements such as sleeves and overskirts. Rather than ’heavy ornamentation’, the Modern Muse collection focuses on form, fabric and proportion, whilst still maintaining a sense of glamour. A defining trend within the collection is ’understated luxury and refined minimalism’ as shared by Shae Thunder. Modern Muse marks a clear evolution for Elbeth Gillis, stripping away excess embellishment in favour of timeless silhouettes, elegant restraint and exceptional craftmanship. The design team explored new territory through silhouette development with this collection. ’Valerie, for example, features an ultra-low, straight dropped waist - a bold yet understated proportion that feels both modern and nostalgic’. Ultimately, the Modern Muse collection is rooted in quiet luxury and elegant simplicity, offering a powerful reminder that sometimes less is more.
Ricca Sposa
Ricca Sposa has turned its gaze to the ’poetic beauty’ of Lake Como for its latest collection, Breathtaking Infinity. With its endless horizon, soft light and sense of calm elegance, the luxury bridal brand has translated the serenity of one of Italy’s most romantic destinations into a feeling: ’the emotion of standing at the edge of something infinite’. Amongst the standout pieces is a romantic princess gown that ’perfectly embodies the spirit of Breathtaking Infinity - romantic, refined and effortlessly transformative’, says Anna Tymoshenko, a spokesperson for the brand. Crafted from delicate Chantilly lace, the gown featured a refined basque waist and a graceful row of covered buttons running down the centre front, indicating a subtle nod to timeless bridal tradition. The look is further elevated with a removable bolero with a high neckline and long sleeves, adding sophistication and versatility.
Versatility is, in fact, one of the defining trends throughout the collection. Ricca Sposa has embraced the modern bride’s desire for adaptable fashion, introducing elements, detachable details and layered components that allow the gown to evolve from ceremony to celebration. The design team also honed in on refined structure when crafting their latest collection, which highlights the basque waist as a sculptural focal points, paired with delicate lace and semi-transparent corsets. ’These elements create depth, individuality and a modern couture feel while remaining timeless and romantic.’
Tymoshenko shared that the Breathtaking Infinity gowns are more fluid, compared to previous collections. Whilst the brand is known for ’strong couture craftmanship, this collection explores a softer, more emotional direction’. With this collection, Ricca Sposa proves that true luxury lies in feeling as much as form, as Breathtaking Infinity is for brides who want their gown to reflect not just their style, but the emotion of the moment itself.
Jesus Peiro
With their latest collection, Perla, Jesus Peiro continues to refine his signature language of architectural elegance and thoughtful craftmanship. Inspired by the pearl, a symbol of purity, transformation and understated luxury, the collection explore beauty through structure and exceptional fabric choice. At the core of Perla is a commitment to form and proportion. Clean, sculptural silhouettes are balanced with soft volume, creating gowns that feel modern yet timeless. Structured bodices and fluid skirts replace overt embellishments, creating a collection that feels calm and undeniably beautiful.
Thoughtful fabric choice takes centre stage throughout the collection. Luxurious mikados, silks and textured materials are used to create depth and dimension, allowing the construction of the design to speak for itself, without being overpowered by decoration. Versatility also plays a quiet but important role in the Perla collection, with detachable elements, overskirts and layered components allowing brides to adapt their looks.
There is a sense of quiet luxury and elegance throughout the collection, offering thoughtful designs to brides who appreciate craftmanship and minimalism.
Together, these collections reflect a clear shift in bridal fashion towards quiet confidence, thoughtful craftmanship and considered design. From Elbeth Gillis’ refined Hollywood minimalism to the serene architecture of Jesus Peiro’s Perla collection, the season is defined by quiet luxury rather than excess.
These designers prove that modern bridalwear is at its most powerful when it is versatile and restrained, offering both retailers and brides collections that feel relevant and desirable.
