THE ITALIAN DREAM

Luisa Sposa is bringing the classic and the contemporary together

Italy is understandable proud of its position as a leader in the world's fashion platform, and its standing in the bridal sector is no surprise to the design cognoscente. Luisa Sposa, the Apulia-based house, launched in 1988, is a fine example of the inspired thinking that makes one label the style leader that others learn from.

Being a bride is much more than wearing a dress. That is the message from the team here. And as every bride is different, so every dress must cater to distinct tastes, individual personalities, places, and time. Every year, meticulous research goes into the selection of new fabrics for the forthcoming collection, with those from Italy and France favoured for their quality and originality. The detail, too, is outstanding, always making a statement that cannot fail to be noticed.

For 2025-26 fine laces, supreme silks and rich embroideries feature in the 80+ collection, which highlights the laid-back appeal of boho styling, transformable gowns that allow for change and personalisation, and fairytale dresses that are utterly feminine and wonderfully romantic. Every silhouette is included – from the loose and flowing to the sleekly sculpted mermaid, and that adds to the appeal of this special brand; there is something for every bride that will make her dream come true.

Showing at Rome Bridal Week – taking place from 16 – 18 March 2025 in Rome, Italy – for the third time, Luisa Sposa Is looking to extend its retailer network, currently existing of 40 stockists in Italy, and a further 20 in other countries.

With a clear focus on quality, Luisa Sposa's message to stores operating in the top end of the market is simple: "Look for innovation, service, production quality, and that all-important 'Made in Italy' label. That way, you will be buying the best."
