Douglas Hannant Bridal Spring 2010NEW YORK, Oct 21, 2009 / FW/ — Always a favorite by the New York’s social set, Douglas Hannant defines elegance and sophistication in his creations. For his bridal collection, the New York-based designer raises the bar on himself to create modern yet romantic gowns for the discerning bride.

“The key to my clothes is the balance of sexy and chic.” says Douglas Hannant, describing not only his bridal collection but also his prêt-a-porter line.

For Spring 2010, Douglas Hannant puts that design philosophy to the toughest customer a designer can have – a bride! Everything has to be perfect, every bead, every pleat; every stitch done in the gown should be flawless.

And Douglas Hannant did not disappoint, sending exquisite white and off white bridal gowns on the runway last Sunday.
