Brides we love

CIARLAbride is all about fashion forward bridal designs so we appreciate when a bride picks a gown with an Avante-Garde twist.



Recent bride, Kristen Chin and I first met during Austin Fashion week in 2009 when she described her gorgeous Balenciaga wedding gown she was going to wear that winter for her wedding. Balenciaga is a design house I admire for both vintage creations from the 60's and modern day, futuristic designs that are always pushing fashion forward.




Simple, chic and elegant, the gown has subtle detail and incredible, pristine craftsmanship. It was cut on the bias and sewn together in pieces at the hip while the neckline had a draped cowlneck. The back is twisted into a lovely draped design with contrasting black lining.
