It's been all about attire the past few months (thanks to New York bridal market place ), as we've been dissecting each new designer assortment and spotlighting our preferred 2013 marriage ceremony gowns and tendencies. And whilst, personally, I could speak bridal fashion 'til the cows come residence, I'm thinking you could us e a tiny break from all the barely there sheer, frothy tulle, beautiful lace, display - stopping silhouettes, etc. chat... Am I proper ? Excellent ! Mainly because today we provide !
I experienced the enjoyment of attending Anne Bowen's Fall 2013 runway presentati on hosted at Toshi's Penthouse in the Flatiron Hotel. The venue was breathtaking ( ideal for superior city I Do's), with amazing sights of the Big Apple's famous skyline. With a glass of champagne in hand (and my initial True Housewives of New York spotting under my belt- Aviva Drescher was certainly in the developing !), I grabbed an outdoor seat on the terrace, and waited for the present to start.
And what a exhibit it was! Bowen's sensitive attire moved superbly in the wind, embodying the variety of modern day glamour that speaks to affectionate  yet daring brides who adore entire body aware silhouettes.
Now that the scene is set (and the gown s obviously converse for by themselves ), enable 's get into some thing a bit much more enjoyable, shall we? I satisfied with Anne Bowen a several times following her runway display, and was blown absent by her sweet, down-to-earth, heat, and open up personality. We finished up chatting for hrs, and I beloved every minute. Listed here are 5 factors I figured out about this astounding designer:
one - She credits Mark Ingram with aiding her make the shift from red carpet to bridal, and laughed telling me that Mark the moment explained... If Angel Sanchez and Georgio Armani experienced a little one , it would be Anne Bowen. Mark has also named Anne the 'Georgio Armani of bridal'.
2 - If she wasn't a designer... she would be producing motion pictures ! Anne revels in producing the eyesight and route for just about every editorial shoot featuring her gowns (just look at the training video down be low to be wowed by her expertise ), and thinks that in a past daily life, she was a film director.
3 - Anne Hathaway almost wore Anne Bowen down her white aisle...
four - And you may well see Kate Middleton donning an Anne Bowen development quickly, as Anne's gorgeous gowns lately manufactured their way across the pond and into the Duchess's dressing area.
5 - Brides don't want to have on pearls... Anne confirmed me a wedding ceremony dress from a previous season that was encrusted in pearls. I was instantly obsessed, and shocked to discover that this unbelievebly lovely number wasn't a large hit with brides. According to Bowen, "Brides don't want to put on pearls on their wedding ceremony gowns. They wan t diamonds (who doesn't?) and crystals! Brides do like jewellery and add-ons (veils, sneakers, clutches) adorned with pearls, but for the dress, it's a unique story."
So brideys... what do you feel ? Are you an Anne admirer just like me? Which 2013 attire do you adore?
