16Arlington is infusing its party spirit into a bridal range and the debut 16Arlington Bridal collection is full of feathers, iridescent sequins and separates. The 20-piece collection captures the London label's signature escapist aesthetic, extends its party wear offerings and reinterprets traditional bridalwear designs. Marco Capaldo and Kikka Cavenati, the pair behind 16Arlington, said "Since we founded the label, it’s been our intention to be wherever our ‘woman’ is having the best, most riotous fun."
Pieces in the collection are described as seductive and current, with standouts including feather-trimmed satin gowns, a three-piece suit inspired by Bianca Jagger and a four-meter feathered veil. Unlike many traditional designs, which are only suited to wedding days, these ones have the potential to be brought out again for parties and other special events.
