/*-->*//*-->*/Founded by Sathya Balakumar and Heather Green, LAKUM speaks to the bride "who is willing to change directions and take ownership of her perspective." Change is this luxury wedding dress designer's mission—in deconstructing and rethinking timeless looks, LAKUM creates innovative, never-before-seen designs. Known for their sophisticated textures, layers, and two-piece ensembles, LAKUM emboldens the contemporary bride with its fearless aesthetic.
The brand's newest wedding dress collection was inspired by three design icons—British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, Spanish painter Joan Miró, and French artist Francis Picabia—and is all about unexpected fabric choices, structure, and clean lines. You can see this most evidently in the brand's most recent line of separates. One of our favorite looks features a sleeveless top with a high neckline and embellished overlay, conjoined with white wide-legged trousers that flair dramatically at the knee. The bridal jumpsuit's razor-sharp sleeve cut-outs and crisply cinched waist bring that structural strength LAKUM is famous for.
With that strength comes an undeniable femininity. The Brooklyn-based atelier's Fall 2018 bridal collection is full of designs that prove that a bride can be both demure and daring, classic and trendy. Think mermaid skirts paired with crop tops, or a traditional sheath with a modern halter top. Illusion necklines, laser-sharp cut-outs, and thigh-high slits add sexiness, while romantic, classic silhouettes bring softness. Click through to discover wedding dresses that boldly break down traditional norms.
