ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

Dresses and fit
It’s not always easy to find the perfect wedding dress that suits you. The dress needs to be the right style and also fit your figure perfectly.
The perfect wedding dress for your body shape
It’s not always easy to find the perfect wedding dress that suits you.
The dress needs to have the right style and, what’s more, the right fit for your body. How the wedding dress fits is, of course, important, whatever your size. Here’s a short guide to which style suits you best, based on your figure.
Hourglass figure
– If you have an hourglass figure, you’ll have a full bust, a narrow waist and wide hips.
– Choose a fitted wedding dress to draw attention to your waist, and use a sash or belt to emphasise it.
– Mermaid dresses that accentuate the body’s curves and end in a flowing, short train suit women with an hourglass figure.
– Avoid loose-fitting wedding dresses that aren’t fitted at the waist, as they can make you look wider.
Apple shape
– An apple shape is characterised by broad shoulders and a full bust. The legs are often slender, the waist is not very defined (pot belly) and the hips and bottom are small.
– A woman with an apple-shaped figure should focus on her hips and bottom and look for dresses that create a more harmonious silhouette.
– She would do well to choose a wedding dress that emphasises the narrowest point of her waist. The lower part of the dress should have a soft, gently flowing A-line silhouette.
Advice and guidance
It takes quite a bit of effort to find your dream dress. Try on plenty of dresses and seek professional advice. Although certain styles are best suited to specific body types, don’t let any ‘rules’ limit you in your search for the dress of your dreams. Make sure you try on several different dresses and let the experienced sales assistants help you with sound advice and professional guidance. And if they bring out a dress that you absolutely cannot imagine yourself in, try it on anyway. You never know – it might actually turn out to be the perfect dress of your dreams.
