“Choose a wedding dress that makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself! Stay true to your style and who you are, not who you think others want you to be or what you think you should look like as a bride on your wedding day.”

Designer(s):

Allison Webb

Year Founded:

2017

Based in:

New York, New York

Style:

Classic with a modern twist, elegant, sophisticated.

Inspiration:

I love looking at artwork; paitings and architecture serve as constant sources of inspiration. The textures inform a lot of the embroidery and embellishment techniques I use. I also find inspiration in the fabrics themselves. Silks, jacquards, mikados - each fabric drapes differently in its own beautiful way. Frequently I'll start with a fabric and then design into it, creating sketches/styles with that particular fabric in mind. Above all else I feel extremely lucky to be able to do what I love for a living! My favorite part about being a designer is making something from scratch and seeing the process through from an initial sketch to a finished gown.

Late Night Studio Vice:

I love a good coffee run at night before the show! Also you can never have enough chocolate in the studio!

Unexpected Fact:

I try all of the gowns on! I like to try them on during the initial muslin stages to see how they feel; if I put on a gown and it doesn't have that "wow" factor then I know something is off and I'll keep tweaking it until it does.
