Oh, to be in New York this week as the world’s master craftspeople showcase their creations. It would be a dream. I’m utterly blown away by the images sent to me by House of Savin, unveiling The New Romanticism collection with a breathtaking concept as a collaborative workshop – bringing together talented creatives from across the bridal and fashion industries and inviting different perspectives into one shared visual concept.

I’m beyond delighted to be able to share this stunning new collection with you this week, as it launches on the New York runways.

Created in partnership with Team Glam, the shoot developed through a collective exchange of ideas, with photographers, filmmakers, floristry and beauty all contributing their own interpretation of The New Romanticism.

Photographed within the Grade II-listed Old Waiting Room at Peckham Rye Station, the collection is set against an architecture shaped by history, movement and reinvention.

Built in 1865 as a place of arrival, departure and anticipation, the room becomes a natural setting for a bridal collection concerned with transformation. Its monumental scale, worn surfaces and layered history create a counterpoint to the precision of the gowns: contemporary silhouettes, immaculate textiles and highly considered construction placed within a space visibly marked by time.

The result is a visual conversation between old and new, permanence and ceremony, architecture and cloth.

At the centre of the editorial is a simple idea: in a room built for waiting, these are gowns made for arrival.

“I wanted this collection to feel confident without losing softness.
For me, bridalwear is most interesting when there is tension in it – when something feels romantic but not overly precious, dramatic but still controlled, familiar yet slightly unexpected. I kept returning to that balance throughout the collection.

Each style has been carefully considered, from the proportion of the neckline to the weight and movement of the skirt. The fabrics are very tactile, and that became an important part of the design process – how something feels in the hand, how it catches the light, how it holds volume, and how it moves around the body.

---

---

There are moments of scale and volume, but also very intimate details. Some pieces are bold and architectural, while others feel more delicate and painterly. I like that contrast, and I wanted the collection to move between those different moods without feeling disconnected.

The Old Waiting Room felt like the right place to photograph it because the space has its own presence. It is grand, imperfect and full of history, and I loved seeing the gowns against something so visibly marked by time. There is a stillness to the room that made the clothes feel even more expressive.
More than anything, I wanted the collection to feel modern, assured and emotionally resonant – bridalwear with a sense of beauty, but also character.” ~Andrey Savin
