A French Fancy: Delphine Manivet

Having recently returned from New York after seeing the fabulous Fall 2013 Bridal Collections, Anna DaFonte is pleased to announce a partnership with Paris-based designer Delphine Manivet. Both fashion-forward and traditional, Delphine Manivet has become a firm favourite amongst chic brides both in France and across Europe. Her eye for fashion is evident in her luxe fabrics as well as the creative nature of her gowns and separates, which can be mixed and matched to allow for an individual look. Delphine Manivet will definitely appeal to brides who are after something special, different and unique.

The current collection sees the bride become Delphine Manivet’s muse, with the quest for Grace, her inspiration. Grace can be described as “the indefinable charm of a living being.” Influences from the past are always evident: this time the 30s and 70’s, a seemingly improbable marriage of eras that are revitalized by Delphine’s vision: tradition, na¬tural elegance, measured glamour and sophistication. Wallis Simpson and Jean Shrimpton, both icons of their time, provided further inspiration...

These gorgeous gowns will be available at Anna DaFonte from January. Come and see the dresses which have French Mademoiselles – who are well known for their innate sense of style – all aflutter…C’est magnifique!

To make an appointment, contact the salon on (02) 9362 3219.
