Isaac Mizrahi Spring Bridal Collection 2013

Here’s your pretty for the day, assuming you haven’t completely overdosed on bridal-based pretty lately. We’re the very last people in the world for whom the word “bridal” really holds any personal connotations, but we always find it interesting the various ways in which various designers interpret the term.

In some ways it’s illuminating as to their aesthetic and personality because the variations are all occurring within the confines of a tight little box, which means any quirk or twist becomes that much more magnified. For Isaac Mizrahi, it’s not really surprising that he dwells in an old-school Mid-Century world of ladylike romance with a hint of urban attitude.
