The dresses are inspired by the iconic designer’s universe and fused with the aesthetics of Cristina Tamborero's bridal brand as well as each student's personal vision to offer unique and meaningful designs.

Wedding Dress Design pays homage to Coco Chanel
Date

From the concept to the production of a final dress. The universe of Coco Chanel has been extremely present throughout the design process of the 12 collection proposals developed by students of the Postgraduate in Wedding and Ceremony Dresses Design at IED Barcelona for Cristina Tamborero's bridal fashion brand.
As part of their final project for the programme, and driven by their own particular vision, each of the students created 10 looks inspired by the unmistakable style of the French designer who revolutionised women’s fashion, fusing them with Tamborero’s characteristic romanticism and delicacy.
The result? Dresses with clean cuts and lines made from comfortable and fluid fabrics — without forgetting the iconic tweed — designed for elegant, modern and empowered brides. With details of embroidery, pearls — so representative of Coco Chanel — buttons and hats. Each student has also added their own personal touch to the Chanel imagery by proposing garments with carefully crafted sleeves, asymmetries or corsets, 3D lace, bows, or hints of colour in black, silver or blue, among others.
Students also developed a second collection of 10 dresses that also formed part of the final project of the postgraduate course. On this occasion, they took an entirely personal theme as a starting point, which they also materialised in a final dress.
L’Escola de Disseny Floral i Paisatgisme [The School of Floral and Landscape Design] collaborated in the creation of the bridal bouquets. In the case of the collection for Cristina Tamborero, in some proposals, it reinterpreted a classic Chanel bag by way of this accessory.
