New York Bridal Fashion Week served no shortage of beautiful gowns — and yes, there were plenty of corseted bodices, basque waists, and intricate lace.
While we absolutely love these enduring styles, what captured us most wasn’t a trend — it was a feeling.
A feeling of sculptural movement.
Of fabric carrying memory.
Of silhouettes that could shape not just a look, but a moment in time.
These aren’t simply dresses.
They are glimpses of the intentionality that inspires the worlds we create at Fox & Quinn.
Below, the textures, shapes, and quiet boldness that moved us — and continue to influence how we design for life’s most extraordinary celebrations.
Francesca Mirada: Soft Rebellion
Francesca Mirada brought quiet drama to the runway.
Light-catching silk chiffons, sensuous open backs, and nostalgic nods to vintage couture created a sense of nostalgic rebellion.
Movement became the statement — every step transforming the gown into part of the narrative.
These are dresses made for presence, not perfection.

Bronx and Banco: Sculptural Play
If Francesca Miranda whispered, Bronx and Banco declared.
The SS’25 collection delivered bold silhouettes that flirted with fantasy—feathered layers, corseted waists, and gowns that sculpted air itself.
There was drama, yes, but also clarity: each piece shaped the body while giving it room to move, emote, and exist fully in the moment.
A reminder that theatrical design can still be deeply wearable—when balanced by intention.
Emerging Themes We Loved
- Architectural Silhouettes: Bold lines balanced by softness
- Tactile Textures: Layered laces, pleated tulles, structured silks
- Negative Space Detailing: Artful open backs and illusion cutouts
- Quiet Statement Accessories: Floating veils, sculptural gloves, minimalistic jewelry
Honorable Mentions
While our editorial focus leans toward sculptural, mood-driven bridal design, a few moments of traditional artistry still caught our eye — pieces that managed to balance craftsmanship with an unexpected sense of movement and light.
Naeem Khan for his intricate, embroidery-as-art statement gowns
EnAURA Bridal for her sculptural layering and architectural softness
Each offered a quiet reminder:
When handled with intention, even the most traditional forms can still feel alive, emotional, and breathtaking.
At Fox & Quinn, bridal fashion is never about chasing trends.
It’s about finding a piece that mirrors who you are — intentional and expressive.
Spring/Summer 2026 wasn’t just about what brides will wear.
It was a reminder that design, in all its forms, shapes how we feel — and that feeling is what lingers long after the celebration ends.
Fashion is one of many languages we use to tell unforgettable stories.
And our favorite ones always begin with intention.
