Designer Sassa Jimenez has teamed up with Vestido, a fashion rental service, to unveil a unique, nine-piece bridal collection. Inspired by the changing landscape of weddings, Jimenez sought to create a collection that resonated with modern brides who prioritize sustainability and individuality.
Jimenez, fresh off her own wedding, observed a shift in bridal trends, noting a desire for brides to wear garments they love rather than traditional, cookie-cutter designs. She recognized that this new bride was also increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of her choices, seeking sustainable and economical options for their wedding wardrobe.
Vestido, known for its curated collection of occasion wear, was also experiencing a growing demand for bridal options. The collaboration between Jimenez and Vestido was a perfect match, combining Jimenez’s design vision with Vestido’s platform for sustainable fashion rentals.
The Sassa Jimenez x Vestido capsule collection is a testament to both designers’ commitment to sustainability and individuality. Each piece is crafted from upcycled materials, including scraps and archived rolls of Jimenez’s signature tulle, chantilly lace, beaded mesh, and crinkled silk. The collection embodies a relaxed and romantic aesthetic, featuring adjustable details like corsetry and separates that can be mixed and matched to create diverse looks.
Jimenez’s design philosophy is evident in the collection’s intricate construction and effortless elegance. The pieces are designed to be both comfortable and stylish, with a focus on flattering all body types. A standout piece is a halter dress crafted from cotton pajama fabric, showcasing the collection’s commitment to unexpected materials and the ability to create luxurious garments from unexpected sources.
The Sassa Jimenez x Vestido collection offers a glimpse into the future of sustainable bridal fashion. It is a collection that celebrates individuality, encourages mindful consumption, and empowers brides to embrace their unique style while making a positive impact on the environment.
