Personal Musings from the Editor-In-Chief
This year's recent Bridal Fashion Week was an instance where rainclouds and ray beams danced in tandem. My personal battle with a stubborn stomach virus over Easter couldn't dampen the luck that unfolded as I navigated my red Dodge Challenger to and fro in the rain, miraculous parking spots appearing as if fated and a cup of hot soothing tea was always nearby.
Yes, it's safe to say I felt like the main protagonist in my own enchanting narrative—a note that resonated as I watched the finale of NYBFW aboard the lush rooftop of The Penthouse, adorned with sunlight and the essence of pure, unadulterated possibilities.
In awe of creations shimmering under luminous skies, Bronx and Banco's daring showcase stole my final glances and sealed an event of ballerina grandeur. With each silhouette and spark, I remembered why this rain-kissed Bridal Week would forever remain etched in tulle and sparkle.
