PARIS
Our love letter to one of the most romantic cities in the world. When we dreamt of this dress, it was to look like art... statuesque, magnificent and bold but created with the lightest silk. This gown is easy to wear luxury. Found in the corners of The Louvre, stumbled upon by lovers perhaps. This gown is drama and elegance, yards of exquisite Silk Shantung, a fitted waist and unique asymmetric structure.

BARCELONA
The collection was well under way when this gown was created. But it ended up being the turning point for all future designs. Half way through creation we went to Barcelona and came home inspired. We knew we had to develop the collection into a couture capsule, edited with Barcelona fresh in our minds. Exquisitely romantic, playful and abounding in layers and layers of pleated and embellished tulle. This dress for the true romantics. Play with the ‘detachable’ trend, a dramatic train that clips off to create a whole new lighter look. Or why not, keep the impact and choose a custom layered skirt.

LONDON
Architectural. Exciting. Bold. Like the city it is named after, this dress is eye catching and sleek. A structural piece featuring the ‘Hip Cage’ and ‘Corsetry’ trend, perfect for styling in your own way. Straight from the 2025 trend forecasting, this corset has a basque waist, hip detail and visible boning in the seams.

GENEVA
This gown was born from a need; for volume and simplicity, for drama and subtlety, for a bride who wants and can have it all. A totally detachable, re-workable design, created to free your imagination on what bridal fashion can be. Geneva, a fit & flare skirt, empire line top and detachable sleeve, is effortlessly fashionable, made in the most luxurious fabrics and inspired by the dramatic mountainous views across the clean lines of Lake Geneva.

VIENNA
A beautiful ode to the city and its love for music and arts. Inspired by classical music, and a stage-like note of drama, this gown features Darla Haute Couture’s love for amazing structures and shapes. The Vienna is soft, romantic, and with a modern edge. The crepe fabric hugs the body and contours subtly across your curves. The silk shantung flower’s soft sheen catches the light and gives an element of drama. For the bride that wants something a little different.

NEW YORK
When this gown started coming together, we knew it had to be ‘New York’. It was different, modern and a thrilling high fashion moment, only New York could match. We love the effortlessly cool feel to this textured organza drop waist, paired with the formality of tuxedo inspired detailing. We can’t wait to see how the DHC bride will style this timeless piece.
