Traditionally, an evening or wedding gown is the grand finale of a haute couture fashion show. Times have changed, but in most runway shows at New York Fashion Week you can spot a bridal look. With designers like Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera it’s quite obvious, while modern superstars like Prabal Gurung and Emilia Wickstead give a subtle nod to nuptial style. From minimalist to bohemian and romantic, these designer gowns are our favorite bridal inspired looks from the NYFW Fall 2015 runways.
