As we do each season, Brides asked designers showing Fall 2013 collections to grant us a sketched sneak peek at the gowns soon to hit New York runways. (Afterward, it's fun to compare the sketches to the real-life gowns they become.) Here, Kelly Faetanini discusses her sophomore collection under her own name, which drew inspiration from one of fashion's favorite trends—feathers:
Describe your collection in a word:
Majestic
What inspired this season's theme?
This season I was inspired by swans and the elegant layering of their plumes—it's a collection all about texture and layering of soft fabrics.
What is unique about this sketch in particular?
I love the combination of the lace, a cascading skirt, and the simplistic mermaid silhouette. The movement of the lace makes this romantic gown feel fresh.
Check back daily to see more sneak peek sketches from our favorite bridal fashion designers, and browse more of our favorite looks from last season's Bridal Fashion Week.
