Lars Wallin Atelier – Exclusive Couture and World-Class Wedding Dresses

Lars Wallin Atelier – 35 Years of Fashion Stories

For over three decades, Lars Wallin has established himself as one of Sweden’s foremost fashion designers. His elegant style, sense of glamour and meticulous attention to detail have made him a leading voice in Nordic couture. Wallin’s designs have been worn by royalty, celebrities and stars around the world and have been seen at events ranging from Nobel Prize banquets to the Eurovision Song Contest. Artipelag is now presenting a personal anniversary exhibition featuring Wallin’s creations, designed by the designer himself.

Bröllopsguiden was there at the press preview and took in the extensive exhibition of wedding dresses on display.

The design process

“It’s all about making the client’s ultimate dress dream come true. At that moment, that’s actually my only mission. That’s when it really counts to be sensitive and super-focused.”

“I usually make ten to twelve wedding dresses a year, and the season runs roughly from March to August. For many, this is, of course, a very emotionally charged commission. Everything has to be perfect. The bride-to-be’s expectations are sky-high – so high that they can sometimes be overwhelming. At the same time, she’s often at a loss and lacks any points of reference. She doesn’t know what suits her because she’s never tried on wedding dresses before. Perhaps she’s had a dream image in her mind since she was a little girl, and now it has to be matched with who she is today. After all, it’s all about realising the customer’s ultimate dress dream. At that moment, that is actually my sole mission. That’s when it really counts to be sensitive and super-focused. The dress doesn’t necessarily have to be elaborate, but it must be the right dress for the right person.”
