What were Gabbriette’s Matières Fecales wedding looks?
Vogue joined the model’s final fitting at Dover Street Market in Paris with designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran. It was the brand’s first-ever bridal commission.
The pre-wedding “Leigh” look reused a vintage black Martin Margiela dress with soft white tulle and the label’s déchiré technique. “Is bridal always white? Clearly not. Bridal is whatever you want it to be,” Gabbriette told Vogue.
The “Healy” after-party look was a lamb leather two-piece with a Stephen Jones riding hat and Christian Louboutin x Matières Fécales pumps. The main “Gabriella” dress used hand-pleated white silk taffeta with a triple bustle, train, and Stephen Jones veil.
