Ines Di Santo - “Le Nouveau Jardin,” drawing inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement
Ines DI Santo SS26 COLLECTION INSPIRATION
The Spring 2026 Collection, “Le Nouveau Jardin,” drawing inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement, embracing its fluidity, organic lines, and intricate textures. This era celebrated the unification of art and life – a philosophy that resonates deeply with Ines' vision for the modern bride.
In the spirit of Art Nouveau's reverence for nature, Elisabeth Sonrel, a celebrated painter of the era, once said: "Art is the bridge between the soul and nature."
This sentiment breathes through every gown in the collection. Here, the bride is more than adorned, she is transformed into a living sculpture, an expression of nature's rhythm and artistry. Textural beadwork shimmers and three-dimensional botanical motifs seemingly grow on the gowns. Silhouettes offer long, sinuous lines that blur the boundary between structure and movement.
For the unapologetically daring bride, an artist at heart, Le Nouveau Jardin is a celebration of individuality, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty found in the natural world. In every petal, every bead, and every sweeping silhouette, we see the truth.
Speaking to her inspiration for the collection, Ines Di Santo said "To embrace nature is to embrace oneself. To connect with the world around us – its beauty, its flow, its imperfection-is to find harmony within."
