Founded by Mark Badgley and James Mischka, Badgley Mischka is an internationally renowned line that has made a mark in the fashion industry for over 30 years. Since the brand’s inception in 1988, Badgley Mischka has been committed to producing designs that are timeless, sophisticated, and modern—all while providing a range of glamourous options to a diverse group of clientele. Additionally, their designs have been worn by countless celebrities, including Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, and Sarah Jessica Parker (to name a few).
When describing their bridal collection, the designers aim to make their brides feel special and unique on their big day. “Our bride is an individual that makes her own choices,” the designers previously told Brides. “Our goal, whenever we design anything, is to make our customers feel empowered and beautiful—it’s the same thing. If she feels beautiful, it makes her more powerful in big and small ways. If she is empowered, she is more beautiful in so many ways.”
Take a look below for the latest collection.
Badgley Mischka Bridal 2023
For their 2023 collection, the design duo created old Hollywood-inspired gowns, while still leaning into their modern aesthetics and design techniques. “The 2023 Collection continues an evolution of Badgley Mischka Bride,” shares the brand within their collection notes. “We are using our favorite classic couture fabrications—sumptuous satins, beautiful sheer chiffon and georgettes, luxurious Mikado, gossamer laces, and crisp organzas. These dressmaker fabrics are used to create gowns of elegance and presence, crafted with modern constructions and techniques that result in gowns that look like a dream and feel like a whisper.”
