Last summer, Ssense launched an “anti-bridal” Bridal Capsule Collection and its success inspired a second iteration, Ssense Bridal 2.0. “Our first collection pushed an aspect of informality, but this season, we’re offering a broader depth in our capsule, which allows us to increase the amount of formal dressing—with a fashion-forward twist,” described Brigitte Chartrand, VP of womenswear buying for Ssense, in a press release.
This capsule collection features over 100 non-traditional wedding dresses and accessories from emerging and established designers, including standouts like a fully upcycled gown and matching gloves by Conner Ives.
To introduce Ssense Bridal 2.0 to the world, the luxury retailer gathered eight real-life couples as models and captured their love stories in a video series.
