Alon Livné took his Fall 2027 bride to the bottom of the sea. His Garlands collection imagines sea nymphs crossing paths with sorceresses of the deep. It’s dreamy and a little dangerous, like a fairy tale with the lights turned down. The show felt closer to an art installation than a runway. Hold your breath and come take a look.

Garlands also marked ten years of Livné’s label, and he brought it back to the very venue that hosted his first runway show. The dark, wood-paneled hall made the full-circle moment even moodier. The Tel Aviv designer has always played soft against sharp, and this time the romance comes with a gothic edge.
Pearls and shells lead the way. Strands of pearls hang like nets pulled from the sea, real shells sit on sheer embroidered corsetry, and crystals shimmer like fish scales. On the softer side, ivory satin ballgowns arrive with lace corsets and huge sculptural bows. Antique jewels and hand embroidery fill in the rest, with statement pieces by Cassuto Jewels. Ten years in, Livné is still making brides look like works of art.
