When old brides are still trendy

Ciao.
It is say that fashion comes and goes, I say luckily.
But does this also apply to the bridal world? Of course it does.

And it is always easier to take inspiration from those vintage icons that have left their mark.
I could recall so many brides of the past but in particular I cannot help but think of the bride whorevolutionised bridal fashion: the legendary Carolyn Bessette.

Everyone would have expected an over-the-top wedding from her and John John Kennedy, butinstead they married in secret with only 40 guests
I really think I can put her on the list of the coolest vintage brides in history.

Carolyn Bessette wore a dress almost 28 years ago by an almost unknown Narciso Rodriguez, her friend and colleague.
A bride dress created for her to feel herself, of indescribable simplicity and refinement.

A vintage dress I would say more than current.
The slip dress fit her like a second skin.
A bias-cut dress without paillettes and embroidery based on what would later be Narciso Rodriguez's motto based on the concept of simple is beautiful.
There is still much inspiration today from this vintage model.
Carolyn Bessette wore a silk tulle veil,on her arms were long white gloves and satin sandals with crystalbeads by Manolo Blahnik.

Until the 1990s, among the most famous vintage brides to be inspired by was undoubtedly Lady Diana, her regal wedding dress dreamt of by all brides of those years.



Who else has dictated bridal trends that have broken traditions and rules?

Yoko Ono marries John Lennon in a white dress and sneakers, a very popular fashion today that of the sneaker perhaps as a change of pace.

Another iconic vintage wedding dress was Stephanie Seymour's in the Guns N' Roses music clip November Rain.
Short, asymmetrical dress with exposed garter belt.

In a world as diverse as fashion, it is easy to blend the old with the new. There are so many vintage brides to take inspiration from today. I think the important thing is that each time the wedding dressfaithfully reflects who will wear it.
