ROBES DE RÊVE

You’re known for your classical elements and timeless design. The new Robes de Rêve collection is a little more playful, modern and experimental – what’s the inspiration behind this?

This collection was inspired by baroque mansions, Italian gardens and grand summerhouses… all dream venues that require dream dresses. Using luxury French laces, 3D embossed embroideries and sumptuous silk fabrics, we combine sophisticated, elegant silhouettes with our flattering corsetry.

A gown from the collection that sets your heart alight…

Milla – It just oozes romance. It’s modern in a romantic print yet refined and still very bridal. Its voluminous and dramatic, yet light to wear in a Italian mikado silk, with optional sleeves and a bow to allow the bride to add their own style.

DESIGN SIGNATURES

+ POWER SILHOUETTES

+ EXPERT TAILORING AND CORSETRY

+ INTRICATE APPLIQUÉS AND LAYERS

Three words to sum up this collection.

ROMANTIC, LUXURY, MODERN

How you choose fabrics to work with? As a designer, why do you think a bride must care about the cut and fabric of her gown?

Luxury is about a feeling as much as a look, which is how I choose the fabrics. They are also lightweight to allow movement and generous layers, which gives an extra element of elegance and sophistication.

A top trend you can see emerging in bridal fashion in 2024?

Corsetry – women are beginning to see and feel the benefits of a fully constructed gown again, as well as appreciating the beauty of a simple gown, cut well and enhanced by a beautifully cut corset.

What’s next for Josephine Scott as a brand?

We’re launching our new label very soon, Avenue by Josephine Scott, which has a very different look – modern dresses for adventurous brides. On a personal level, I just want to continue creating dream gowns that make brides feel and look like a queen on their special day.
