#7 Trunk Shows

This semester I have been interning at the bridal store Kleinfeld and have been thoroughly enjoying it.  Every week at Kleinfeld a trunk show takes place.  At these trunks shows they feature one designer. The designer’s gowns are displayed out on the salon floor and usually the designer is at the salon talking with the brides and helping out with appointments.  It’s actually a very special experience for the bride to try on the featured gowns and talk with the designer. The new bridal gowns for Spring have just started to come out, so these trunk shows that are currently being held are very exciting.  Here are some upcoming trunk shows:
November 1-3
Michelle Roth and Henry Roth
Michelle and Henry Roth are brother and sister that co-design together. They are originally from Australia and most of their bridal gowns are exclusive to Kleinfeld.  Their gowns are a mix of chic and sophisticated, and fun and fashion forward.

November 4-6
Monique Lhuillier
Monique Lhuillier was born and raised in the Philippians and later grew up to attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise in California. Her gowns are glamorous and romantic with a touch of sexiness.  With rich fabrics and incredible detail, Lhuillier has proven to be a leader in bridal gown design.
Novemeber 11-12
Lazaro
Lazaro brings glamorous gowns to brides. With vintage inspired beading and stunning embellishments, Lazaro offers romantic, statement making gowns.
November 15-27

Pnina Tornai

Pnina Tornai is an exclusive and very prominent designer to Kleinfeld. Kleinfeld's is the only place in the United States where you can find a Pnina Tornai wedding gown. She comes in for every trunk show all the way from Israel where she is from and where she designs. Her gowns are definitely one of a kind. They are incredibly unique, using the finest fabrics, her signature corset and Swarovski crystals and pearls. I actually got to work at the fashion show that was held a couple weeks ago for the new spring designs, which was a real fun experience.

  1. I also chose Kleinfeld's truck show as my topic!I love watching "Say Yes to the Dress" and seeing all the different wedding dress designs.I would love to attend one of their trunk shows in the future when I will be searching for my "It" dress. I bet you have a wonderful, and stressful, time interning at Kleinfeld's and I'm sure you're learning a lot.

  3. Bridal trunk shows are definitely the most popular and in NY, where else would you start if not Kleinfeld? I did when I was looking for my wedding gown. It was such an amazing experience and gave me lots of inspiration when designing my gown.

  4. Wow! working at kleinfeld must be really fun! I think it would be such a rewarding experience to sell a bride to be her wedding gown and the excitement that takes place. Being a part of their trunk shows must be very fun too.
