In days gone by, the front rows of the spring couture collections in Paris were lined with sharp-eyed mothers and their engaged-to-be-married daughters, doing an urgent reconnoiter of the haute wedding-dress market. Well, now that weddings have shot to the top of the summer 2011 social agenda in Europe (need we mention William and Catherine, Albert and Charlene, Zara and Mike?) the subject of “bridal”—long played down as uncool by many a fashion house—seemed certain to pop up sooner or later.
Well, it was sooner. Alexis Mabille, the young French designer who scored the first show in the spring couture calendar, set out his stall with no less than nine ivory dresses, all ideally aisle-worthy for a young bride. Mabille, an up-and-comer with a known talent for his ways with bows and Chantilly lace, might not yet be a contender in the grand cathedral stakes. But we all know how it goes: Once royal wedding bells start chiming across lands and seas, the rush to the altar—and bridal designers—is certain to multiply throughout nations. One way or another—one-shouldered, strapless, tuxedo-style, flower-edged, short, long or lacy—this young man is at the ready.
