Collection 03

Designer, Pippa Cooke’s reimagining of the wild west, a tribute to the women who endured its harsh conditions, envisaging a liberated bride who holds her own in a lawless land.

Drawing from 19th-century Western styles, BON BRIDÉ’s third collection showcases Pippa’s distinctly modern point of view, merging blended corset seaming and lacing with more dominant masculine silhouettes. Seductive and somewhat scandalous, yet undeniably beautiful, this collection perfectly embodies the BON BRIDE – a woman of now, who claims her body for herself and strives to dress accordingly.

With plunging necklines, high slits, sheer fabrications and an unexpected pair of chaps, Pippa takes her vision for BON BRIDÉ to the next level. “Costume is character, but for this collection, within the limitations of women’s dress from this era, I wanted to design a range that retaliated against the society that so dictated how a woman should look. I want to open up the conversation and create a gateway for our modern brides to confront the stigma around a woman’s body and what she should wear on her wedding day.”
