Italy is understandable proud of its position as a leader in the world's fashion platform, and its standing in the bridal sector is no surprise to the design cognoscente. Luisa Sposa, the Apulia-based house, launched in 1988, is a fine example of the inspired thinking that makes one label the style leader that others learn from.
Being a bride is much more than wearing a dress. That is the message from the team here. And as every bride is different, so every dress must cater to distinct tastes, individual personalities, places and time. Every year, meticulous research goes into the selection of new fabrics for the forthcoming collection, with those from Italy and France favoured for their quality and originality. The detail, too, is outstanding, always making a statement that cannot fail to be noticed.
