Naeem Khan lives to dress the party girls. Thanks to his penchant for a crystal-encrusted minidress or a heavily embroidered jumpsuit, his collections always have an element of dance-’til-dawn fun. The same is true of his bridal designs, and this season, he upped the ante on the idea of outfitting a wild, carefree woman for her walk down the aisle. During the prep for his Spring 2019 presentation, Khan said his latest wares are for “a rock-star bride.” That meant more embellished jumpsuits, one of which came with a detachable ball skirt; loads of fringe; an iridescent long-sleeved gown with a hood; and yes, a cool mini decorated with mirror embroidery.
Khan did include some gowns that were more traditional, too, and he was smart to do so. In his bridal collections as well as his main line, he is a master when it comes to giving his customers a wide variety of choices and interchangeability in their wardrobes. But the most interesting looks were definitely the ones that brought loud beats and endless glasses of Champagne to mind. Khan’s bride is glamorous, poised, and feminine, but she’s also a woman who loves nothing more than to have a good time and to look amazing while doing it, especially on the most important day of her life.
