The Baroque Experience: More Than just Fashion
By Zenah AL-Naimi
In the ever-evolving world of fashion, designers are constantly seeking inspiration from those that have come before them, hoping to seamlessly blend historical beauty with modern subtlety to create fashion pieces that surpasses time. Talya Bendel and Esty Haas are no different in wanting to attempt this merger of history and the present and have partnered together to create a dress line that pulls Baroque aspects from design, architecture and grandeur. All 16 luxurious looks will have you questioning if you entered a fashion show or time traveled back into a different century.
The collection reimagines the lavish aesthetics of circa 1745 and a Hamptons soiree in the 1920’s, bringing them to life in modern context. This high fashion gown line was featured in CFDA’s New York Fashion Week Bridal shows, on the staircase at the Woolworth Building downtown and left all in attendance speechless. Perfect for the bride who has always pictured her wedding dripped in romance, elegance and tradition this collection is sure to compliment the bride that is wanting a wedding dress that matches her poetic love story.
The designers of this collection also attribute their inspiration to their Jewish and Orthodox background. With 15 years of experience of dressing thousands of “Kallahs”, which is Yiddish for “brides”, Esty and Talya were thrilled to have a successful first showing with over 180 bridal and fashion industry guest, media and family to showcase this wearable art. The collection is available by appointment at Haas Bridal Atelier and you can expect prices of gowns to range from $5,000 to $9,000.
