Where does a designer find their inspiration? Well today, time-honoured Ines Di Santo drew on the wonder of the Murano chandelier as she crafted the beauty of her Fall Winter 2023 collection “Illuminated Soirée”.

The collection is all about capturing that childlike sense of wonder, combined with exquisite workmanship (just like the chandeliers themselves) and indeed met the brief from bubble puff floral printed minis to bows and tulle that blow in the breeze. From dramatically beaded lace trains to ruffle skirts, it’s a little whimsical, playful and even a little unexpected.

Growing up in Argentina, Ines brings her extensive training (including at Dior) to her collections repeatedly. The brand founded way back in 1990, continues to stand the test of time and it isn’t hard to see why. Our picks for the upcoming season? “Citrine” the bubble mini dress is just the ticket for easy moving on the dance floor. And for something more traditional, check out “Jasper”, a beautiful full-length lace gown with bow-adorned streamers that float behind the wearer. It is traditional meets whimsical win a beautiful light.

And combining that sense of fun with on-trend details, and classic wedding silhouettes, it’s very clear why this designer continues to be so very loved amongst those walking down the aisle.
