In a move that feels both instinctive and intentional, Ines Di Santo ushers in a new chapter with the introduction of V / Veronica Di Santo, alongside its Spring 2027 Bridal Couture collection. The launch marks a generational shift – one rooted in legacy, yet unmistakably forward in perspective. For Veronica Di Santo, the transition is deeply personal. Having grown within the brand since its earliest days, she now channels that foundation into a line attuned to the modern bride – one who values individuality as much as craftsmanship. V reframes the house’s secondary line with a sharper, more contemporary lens, merging ease with intention and refinement with personality. The designs embrace fluidity and lightness, exploring sheer textures, movement, and contrast. Structured yet soft, minimal yet expressive, the collection offers versatility across every moment of the wedding experience. With a more accessible price point, it expands reach without compromising identity.
"Today’s bride is redefining tradition on her own terms. With V, we wanted to create pieces that evolve with her wants and reflect her individuality, allowing her to express who she is—without compromise."
Presented during New York Bridal Fashion Week, the Spring 2027 Bridal Couture collection draws from the richly textured compositions of French Impressionist masterpieces. The collection reimagines a white and ivory palette through nuanced contrast, intricate embellishments, and layered surfaces that highlight the house’s exceptional craftsmanship. Six dramatic ballgowns emerge as sculptural focal points, emphasizing proportion and structure while echoing the architectural precision and detail found in Monet’s most elaborate works. Alex Mari captured both backstage and runway exclusively for THE WED with a distinct sensitivity to light, revealing the craftsmanship at the heart of each look. The imagery moved seamlessly between raw, behind-the-scenes moments and the polished runway, using light and shadow to draw focus to texture, detail, and the quiet precision of each gown.
