Introducing Evolution 2020, the latest bridal collection of wedding dresses and bridal accessories from Claire Pettibone.
FROM THE DESIGNER:
The idea of transformation and metamorphosis were on my mind when creating this collection. A moment when we sense evolution from one point to another.
I find this an inspiring theme in my work, as I maintain my individuality while continuing to grow and evolve each season.
We all go through many changes in life, and marriage marks one of those moments where vows and promises are recited, and we instantly transform from single to married.
And although one could argue that the bride is still the same person, the reality is, that a shift has occurred, and she has entered a new stage in her evolution.
Walking into an attic or a forgotten closet and seeing beams of light illuminating the dust always has an effect on me. The idea that a whole world that we don’t see is right here, just waiting to be discovered…
I incorporated elements of the most delicate sparkle with heirloom embroideries and ethereal tulle. As if some of those treasures in the attic were touched by the light and transformed into something new and truly magical.
The Claire Pettibone bridal collection embodies the designer’s pioneering vision of effortless style and luxurious detailing infused with an enchanted spirit.
Gentle hints of colour, European laces, and graceful embroideries flutter and flow to make a woman look and feel like a goddess. The West Coast designer brings a deeply feminine sensibility and unique artistry to her ethereal, bohemian, and vintage-inspired wedding gowns and bridal accessories.
What begins as a spark of the imagination, is sketched and designed by Claire herself, translated into intricate couture fabrics and details, and finally, each piece is hand-crafted in the designer’s Los Angeles atelier housed in a 1920’s historic landmark known as “The Castle”.
