A SEASON FOR NUPTIALS
During New York Bridal Fashion Week last month, DANIEL PLUS LAUREN got a sneak peek at Evan Hirsch’s newest bridal gowns for 2025. DPL learned about the tremendous process of creating one of Evan’s iconic bridal gowns that have been worldly renowned. It’s all about finding the true characteristics of what a wedding represents, while touching onto the past to bring new life to old fabrics to make something new. Yes, it’s something old, new, borrowed, and blue as Evan Hirsch seeks out this true bridal aesthetic for you to walk down the aisle.
Evan was really inspired by the idea of surprise, like every single look has a certain surprise inside of it. Whether it’s a hidden color kind of moment that you didn’t expect or if you look closely at the fabric, you’ll find out that it’s vintage, dead stock lace from gowns from the 1940’s and 1950’s. Evan says to expect the unexpected, each gown provides a detail that you’ll notice right away, or if you look really close. There’s certainly a plentiful amount of floral details with Evan Hirsch’s gowns this season.
The floral explosion is pretty evident that it creates a voluminous bridal gown with so much emphasis on texture. You also get to see the eye-popping color and silhouette come to life that when you actually see and feel the dress in front of you, you are completely amazed. Tactile fabric and pearls surprisingly dominate a season where taking dead stock, blue, orange, and rainbow color shades completely define a wedding season new optimism and hope.
Evan Hirsch has the sweet spot of 9 looks to truly define his bridal gown work in Spring 2025:
Look 1: Beaded floral embroidery corset with satin skirt and chiffon sash.
Look 2: Beaded floral embroidery halter over long sweetheart ivory gown.
Look 3: Mikado fitted reception dress with bow appliqués.
Look 4: Satin bodice dress with floral embroidered lace ball gown skirt.
Look 5: Short ombre dress with cross straps.
Look 6: Beaded mermaid gown with ombre tulle overskirt.
Look 7: Blue beaded gown with convertible peplum skirt.
Look 8: White satin dress with tulle shoulder draping that reveals ombre tulle short skirt.
Look 9: Black tulle gown transforming to white satin gown.
Much of Evan Hirsch’s inspiration is sought out from the time of Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast At Tiffany’s, all from the little black dresses worn in the film. Vintage dead stock fabric from the 1940’s and 1950’s came from an array of outdated styles that cycled through before Evan repurposed those fabrics. Ripping apart, breaking down, and trimming old fabrics appear to be an art form for Evan and his talented creation of gorgeous wedding dresses. Adding excitement to this new life of old fabrics are adding details like pearls and florals are what turn this bridal gown into a fine piece of work.
Finding new life via up-cycling to create a Spring 2025 masterpiece in its totality is the most-rewarding part of fashion and sustainability. Evan Hirsch is not one who relies on just the latest trends for beauty, Evan relies on the element of surprise with intimate details to create beautiful work.
Evan Hirsch is proud to say that my bridal dresses have been picked up by wonderful shops across the country. Evan is so honored that they have created a channel to each brides on the most special day of their lives.
