These wedding dresses of remarkable beauty are born out of Oleg Baburow’s unique approach to design. The name Life is a Miracle itself hints at the marvel at work behind the seams of the divinely beautiful 2021 collection.
Now, more than ever, many designers are looking to hope and inspiration beyond what the corporeal world can offer. For Oleg Baburow, God has always been the driving force behind his creations. Guided by his faith and a power “beyond knowledge, calculation, business acumen and even artistic talent,” his vision for the collection was pushed forward by an indescribable force of creation, and realized by a more worldly — but no less still humanly impressive — artisanal dressmaking techniques.
A lot of love and labor are put into each design. Deliberately favoring manual processes over machines, the extensive embroideries and laces are shaped, refined and hand-placed in configurations that bring out the best of each silhouette. What all this translates to are gowns with an ethereal quality; graceful and arresting, delicate and powerful at once.
