Kleinfeld Says Yes to These Dresses

Buyers for Kleinfeld—the New York bridal salon that plays a starring role in the TLC series “Say Yes to the Dress”—recently attended New York’s Bridal Market Week, then blogged about what they saw on the store’s website (www.kleinfeldbridal.com). The top bridal fashion trends for the upcoming season, according to Kleinfeld buyers: petals, ruffles, raw-edged fabrics, tulle, silk shantung, peplums and something called “reverse crumb catchers.” (Doesn’t sound very romantic, does it?) They raved about individual collections from Lazaro, Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra and Anne Barge and gave a shout-out to newcomer Gilles Montezin. Formerly a costume designer for the Opera Bastille in Paris, Montezin showed whimsical, sexy dresses with slimming corsets and full skirts. Incidentally, each one is named after a famous opera or composer. Brava!
