Is there ever a time we’re not just immensely proud to be Aussie? When Australian designers continue to dream up the most amazing gowns, the simple answer is no. I will gush and rave and fawn over these gowns because I will never get over how lucky we are to have such amazing talent in our country. Today? It’s all about Sydney designer Leah Da Gloria.

Leah is no newbie to the bridal designer world. She’s been creating couture bridal gowns since 2012 (and her own creations even longer!) this designer is all about decadent detail and luxurious finishes and her brand new 2020 couture collection ticks all the boxes for breathtaking bridal beauty.

Handcrafted for their wearers, the 2020 couture collection is filled with old-world glamour, dramatic silhouettes, heavily beaded and adorned. There are sweeping trains, off the shoulder necklines, bell sleeves, embroidered sleeves – this is a collection that is the opposite of minimal, and proudly embracing of it.

And it’s that, that layered detailing that Leah is loved for. It’s the sense of the opulence, of the dramatic, of creating a statement, that keeps Leah continuing to dream up designs that are just as beautiful down the aisle, as they are imagined for the star-filled red carpet.

The Leah Da Gloria. 2020 couture collection is available via the Leah Da Gloria Sydney studio and selected stockists around the world.
