Last Saturday’s weather was absolutely perfect for a rooftop bridal fashion show! Malan Breton presented his spring-summer 2016 collection for brides and grooms. Well-known for his impeccable tailoring, his brocade and silk menswear received applause. Working with silk brocade glass particle reflective fiber and lana fresca wool, his menswear pieces were strikingly elegant in vibrant colors.

For brides, he used silk organza, silk chiffon and silk brocades in ultra voluminous shapes. Breton shows traditional silhouettes as well as unusual bridal wedding dresses. There were also several wedding dress styles in his collection, shown recently at the last Mercedes-Benz show, held at Lincoln Center. His spring-summer 2015 theme was “A Journey to Taiwan.” The details in the creation of bridal wear are ongoing. There’s the draping, unusual fabrics, tulle trains, lace, long zippers in back, strapless styles, halter hits, fishtail treatments and figure-fitting fashions. This collection is luxurious and the designs are embellished with regal accents.
