Edgar Allan Bridal Exhibit at Glorietta 5
Every bride probably can’t deny the fact that they want a notable designer to do their wedding gown. Not all of us can have a Vera Wang or our very own Monique Lhuillier who has made it internationally. But local fashion is brimming with talent itself. You just have to look around.
And that’s how I became a happy Edgar Allan bride. I was certainly proud to wear his creation during our wedding. I liked its simple cut and classic accents. It’s something I’ll treasure and content enough to pass on to my daughters, when the time comes.
Guess what, I thought Edgar Allan is hibernating…but it turns out he’s preparing for his own bridal exhibit from June 4 to 14 near his new boutique in Glorietta 5, Makati.
For the exhibit, he will be coming up with wedding gowns inspired by some of the most memorable women in history, literature, films, opera and Broadway.
Mr. Allan will present his own interpretations of bridal gowns for iconic women of history like Marie Antoinette and Mata Hari, Bizet’s Carmen, Broadway’s Eliza Doolittle from ‘My Fair Lady’, romantic literature’s favorites, Juliet and Guinevere, and the film world’s memorable characters, Princess Leah and Gigi.
With minimal surface decorations, Edgar relied on fabric, cut and proportion to achieve the glamor that surrounded these women of history and fiction, and capture the drama that memorable and bigger than life.
Their special exhibit will be the 15th bridal display Edgar Allan and business partner Rene Tiongco have mounted in 25 years at their boutique in Ayala Center.
The Edgar Allan boutique is also located at the ground floor of Glorietta 5. Telephone number 893-7426
