A wedding dress from Topshop? Who would have thought?
Young brides-to-be all over the country will be pleased to know that
Topshop have unveiled their collaboration with Richard Nicoll – a bridal range
called ‘Tie the Knot’.
The collection is aimed at women who are looking for a younger
alternative to the floor length ball gown wedding dress that for years have
blessed the aisles. This year, the once in a lifetime gown is to be replaced by
a shorter, more ‘night out on the town’ style dress.
With a price range from £75-£350, any bride would be laughing, but is it
a collection suitable for everyone?
The answer to that has to be no. Reviews all over the internet have
slated the collection, deeming it ‘tacky’ and ‘disappointing’. Nicoll is known
for his delicate, nude tones and dainty designs and with celebrity clients
including Kate Bosworth and Keira Knightley, the collection was expected to
portray such elegance, but with short hemlines and lingerie detailing, it isn’t
a shock to hear that the dresses are questioned for being inappropriate.
However, all is not lost as the dresses do make perfect party pieces for
those who don’t mind digging deep and splashing out a little.
