I source fabrics and trims locally and intentionally, reducing waste while maintain a close connection to every step of the process.
At the heart of my work is a promise: that every woman feels seen, heard, and cherished. I design not only to reflect who she is, but awaken something within her she hasnโt met yet. More than a label, Alexis Levan is a deeply personal experience-rooted in emotion, intention, and love.โ
Mark Ingram Atelier
Mr. Ingram established his own namesake collection โMark Ingram Brideโ as a response to hearing firsthand the gowns that his customers were missing the most. The Mark Ingram Bride is a Collection brand first but truly so much more of an adjective. The title embodies the woman and the women who inspire their effortless look and feel. They are simple yet stately, they are delicate but impactful. The Mark Ingram Bride Collection is inspired by the women who adorn the gowns and their innate appreciation for chic, quality, and impeccable design.
Amsale
For designer Amsale (Ahm-sahโ-leh) Aberra, it all started with a single wedding dress: her own. Seeking a more modern silhouette for her 1985 nuptials, Ethiopian native Amsale found her options limited. She eschewed the overly ornateโon-trend in that eraโand crafted her own pared-down design, elegant in its simplicity and quiet in its impact, featuring a distinct style that was modern and personal at once. Three decades later, her refined and modern aesthetic endures in a variety of collections - and Amsale herself is widely credited as the inventor of the modern wedding dress.
Maybelle Atelier
The vision for Maybelle truly blossomed from a place of deep love for design combined with a powerful commitment to sustainability. My Gen Z daughters opened my eyes even further to the urgent need for eco-conscious practices, and this became the guiding principle for everything we do. As both a designer and a mother, my mission is to create a better future. We achieve this by crafting breathtaking pieces that help our clients radiate their most beautiful selves, all while honoring our planet.
