Take a step back in time to the golden ages, the imaginary past where prosperity and power ruled the land. The Francesca Miranda Fall 2018 Bridal Collection draws on inspiration from the mid 16th century, the idyllic past translated into the present days of our modernized world.

Playing on the sophistication of royal attire, every gown was designed with clean silhouettes and classic details. Metallic infused woven jacquards and guipure laces tie the two eras together creating a majestic collection for every bride with limitless dreams.

Mark Zunino, a Los Angeles-based designer to numerous A-listers, unveiled his debut namesake Spring 2018 bridal collection at Bridal Fashion Week and he did not disappoint.

The 34-piece collection left the audience feeling enamored. It was inspired by the voices of brides from around the world that Zunino has worked with over the course of nearly a quarter of a century in the industry.

“The Mark Zunino bride is forward-thinking and independent. She embodies femininity by being bold and outspoken but combines it with a touch of delicacy,” describes Zunino. “From country to country the message seemed clear. The modern bride dreams for unique fabrications that form well on every silhouette and marries a timeless tradition with progressive sensuality.”

Zunino’s talent for accentuating a woman’s features through detailed construction has set him apart in the designer world. He has the impressive ability to create elegant pieces for the modern woman that feature eye-catching design and figure-flattering shapes no matter a client’s shape, size or personal style. During his debut show, Zunino showed a range of styles from an A-line wedding dress with a v-neckline and beaded bodice to a sheath wedding gown with an illusion high neckline.

Through listening to his clientele, Zunino was drawn to create a collection that stands out from the crowd through a vehicle of global unification and Hollywood glamour, with his bridal collection featuring globally-sourced materials like hand crocheted silk lace, delicate silk chiffon from India, polished silk organzas from Italy, and lush silk embroidered appliqué from Spain.

Considering that his evening gowns have been featured on the red carpet by stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Beyoncé, and Sofia Vergara, we’d say Zunino knows a thing or two about creating Hollywood-worthy dresses. Understatement of the year, we know.
