L’eto Bridal continues the story of an escapist this season in Palm Springs, the heady Sonoran Desert town. As sun-baked colours of Salvation mountain and the dramatic mountain range make a wonderfully nostalgic backdrop of the mid-century heyday of the place, Anya Ostapenko delivers a collection of bridal separates with offerings of sensual fitted gowns and an ethereal sheer cape interspersed between. The faded colours of the widely-recognised architecture exude heat and feel sun-baked; and call to mind the mid-century desert modernism of the area. The warm desert wind carries languid beatnik vibes around wisps of blouson sleeves and organic pleats and the choice of lustrous silk gracefully evades the look of traditional heavy-handed decoration and fabrics.
Where moody skies and seas collide this styled shoot envisioned by HMUA Natalie Dent and photographer Keryn Sweeney features bespoke bridal gowns by New Zealand designer Brooke Tyson from her latest collection ‘Ritual’ showcasing the Gaia gown with its intricate beadwork, the beautiful lace Maya gown and Tassel fringe veil with slip. Dark clouds in the distance threaten the shoreline, delicate drops of rain come and go while beauty, Bella, statuesque amongst a bed of flowers as if it were not cold. Walking down to the waters edge immersing herself in the surroundings , sea, sand and salty air.”
