While you may be used to seeing runway shows during Bridal Week, designer Katharine Polk decided to take a different approach to showcasing Houghton's Fall 2017 collection. "This season I chose 10 amazing women to participate in a film showcasing the new collection instead of presenting in a traditional way," Polk said. "I asked each woman to collaborate in designing each of their looks so every piece is very individualized to their personal style." Enter the "Houghton Girls," who can be described as nontraditional and fashion-forward brides. The film not only debuted the designs, but it was also filled with inspiring intimate interviews with each woman (Jenné Lombardo, Chloe Norgaard, Lisa Salzer, Morgan Kibby, Cyndi Ramirez, Kelly Francis, Dara Hart, Keyla Castillo, Bianca Vesco, and Polk herself) about their experiences overcoming body image issues, depression, and eating disorders. "After doing so many traditional runway shows, I felt compelled to create a more personal and inspirational project and add meaning to what I was designing," Polk said. "The film follows the women as they explore how they cope with the unrealistic standards and pressures that so many women face in their daily lives while modeling looks from the collection."

"Not your Baby" and "Hopeless Romantic" are not only themes of this show, but the empowering phrases can be seen on various items in the collection (custom calligraphy by Jessica Gatlyn of Boho Ink), along with tons of sequins and outerwear (knit sweaters, MC jackets and individualized embroidered baseball jackets). Get ready for Houghton's unique "ready-to-wear" bridal collection.
