Ethereal
Ethereal is a couture bridal collection that combines Chinese and Western wedding dress traditions. The collection is made with stiff pleated fabrics, soft silk, lightweight tulle and lace, which create exaggerated silhouettes and a hazy appearance. Embroidery reinterprets traditional mandarin patterns, including dragon and phoenix motifs that stand for nobility and good fortune. Red and white, the typical colors of the East and the West, are both used. The collection responds to the needs of brides who want modern mandarin wedding dresses.
