In 2020, Israeli bridal label Galia Lahav designed a bespoke black wedding dress for Christine Quinn’s opulent wedding. Because the former “Selling Sunset” star’s dress debut, the brand has received an explosion of requests for custom bridal gowns in the dead of night hue.
For April’s Recent York Bridal Fashion Week, the brand is delivering directly to those customers with the debut of its spring 2024 collection’s singular black French lace, corset bodice, mermaid wedding gown.
While the brand had previously debuted a full collection of black wedding gowns nine years ago, “It’s so me, so I couldn’t help myself,” designer Sharon Sever told WWD. The body-hugging black gown, styled with an identical white veil with black lace trim and long-sleeve black lace top, will retail for around $10,000, and sits throughout the brand’s larger spring 2024 collection.
“The vibe [of the spring 2024 collection] is Spanish, as the gathering relies on the opera, ‘Carmen,’ and was shot in Spain. I’m a really big opera enthusiast — it’s considered one of my biggest inspirations — and I’m a part of the board here. As we’re an organization that’s all about women[‘s] empowerment, sensuality and variety, the story of this opera is of a really strong woman that unfortunately loses her life, but doesn’t wish to give up to restrictions of any man. She’s living her own life, doesn’t wish to hearken to anyone, desires to be independent and is a free spirit,” Sever said. “Women make their very own selections. It’s a matter of selection in case you feel good in your individual skin and wish the world to see you as you might be. If that is you, then you will have to be you.”
