In certain circles, disapproving noises frequently arise regarding church brides whose strapless dresses are deemed overly revealing.
However, the contemporary Mary Whitehouses, who fret over an occasional glimpse of cleavage, are likely to experience shock upon encountering the latest bridal trends available.
The audacious wedding attire—hardly deserving the title of dress—was showcased by the fashion label Kaviar Gauche during Berlin fashion week.
Given its daring design, it’s safe to assume that this particular wedding outfit is intended for a beach setting—or perhaps best suited for the intimate confines of the wedding night.
This astonishing garment appears to consist of several scant pieces of fabric linked by a central strip. The ensemble is designed to be worn over a nearly nonexistent thong bikini brief, all while being enveloped in a sheer veil.
The German designers, Alexandra Fischer-Röhler and Johanna Kühl, have been making headlines since they established the Kaviar Gauche label in 2003, previously drawing attention for similar audacious displays.
For their 2009/10 handbag collection, the duo sent models down the runway virtually nude, save for cleverly positioned accessories.
Never adhering to conservative or traditional standards, they have gained a reputation as the rebels within the bridal design industry.
For brand devotees, this latest showcase will be quite predictable.
But will this daring look resonate with modern brides? Perhaps it will appeal to the stars of Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
What about Lady Gaga, Pamela Anderson, or Rihanna? The choice is yours…
