It’s Bridal Market Week and New York is in a Bridal Fashion Week Frenzy!  If you are a follower of our blog, then you must know how much I am infatuated by all things Fashion.  So as a salute to Bridal Fashion Week, we will be doing a week long post of all things Fashion as it relates to Brides and Events.

I am absolutely in love with the fact that for Fall 2010, ultra volume is back.  From the runways of Kenneth Pool and Reem Acra, I couldn’t help but think that there must have been some inspiration from the classic Gone with the Wind and the Crinoline Period.  Fashion during the Crinoline Period consisted of the staple hoop skirt (wooden/plastic framing that gives dresses their “poof”), tiers of crinoline fabric (starched fabric) that rested on top of the hoop skirt, and a tight bodice to wrap up the look.  Whether it be an insane amount of volume or endless tiers of fabrics and chiffons, we are so excited that our favorite designers are bringing back such a fabulous period as inspiration for Brides of 2010.

Inspiration from the Epic Romance ‘Gone with the Wind’.  Is there anyone that does not love this film?!

Love this Paper Crinoline Dress found on Flickr

These dresses are absolutely fab!  The sheer volume of the dresses are enticing enough to dance and twirl in.  (From Left to Right:  Kenneth Pool and Reem Acra – all Fall 2010)

Tiered layers of fabric in themselves is a work of art.  Love the creative interpretation of designers these days.  (From Left to Right:  Christos, Ines Di Santo, bottom 2 gowns:  Monique Lhuillier – all Fall 2010)
