Chrandels Fashion new collections inspired London.
Belgium designerslabel Chrandels Fashion brought an
injection of exuberance and colour to the Bridal Fashion
show this week with their new 2008 collection. There was
something inspiringly confident about Chrandels bridal
designs for the British markets.
The new collection can be somewhat bewildering to audiences
more used to artistic references, however, Chrandels
Fashion 2008 collection was as relevant and accessible
as the best of this week's shows. First up, and
following a slowly rising status over the previous
couple of seasons, the colored bridal gowns taking
centre stage with its hem line higher and volume greater
than ever. Nowhere was this more evident than with
Chrandels new collection. From rosé and champagne pink
through to merlot and burgundy, the clothes were all
bathed in rich shades. Everything in this collection was
precisely styled and cut with unfussy clean lines.
Inspired by the 'high society girl' silk, lace and
pearls kept things classy, although it was the overal
look of the dresses which had real character. Bringing
everything together were the models, with their sparkly
tiaras and, delightfully, beaming smiles. The resulting
collection was full of strong pieces.
Setting a contrast to the voluminous dresses, silhouettes
teamed matching tops and skirts, which were beautifully
cut. Bridal dresses in colour with clean lines
featured tuck folds to create subtle volume, and bright
dresses. Silhouette and texture the cornerstones of this
collection and while those sleek bridaldresses provided
the silhouette it was the taffeta which provided the
texture, contrasting perfectly against a foundation of
silk.
In the main, the collection was shaded colorfull however,
the show closed in a divine explosion of jade green. Chrandels Valmont dresses has
