The Modern Masquerade

<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">It has always been the grand finale. Keeping the best for last?</span></p><span style="font-size:small;"></span><p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">The last gown stood out. It was the climax of Tony Ward&rsquo;s Fall-Winter 2025/26 Couture show in Paris &rsquo;Entre R&ecirc;ve et Regard&rsquo;.</span></p><span style="font-size:small;"></span><p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">The bridal look that captured both the theatrical energy of the runway and the deep <em>savoir-faire</em> of the house. It isn&rsquo;t just a closing dress. It is a declaration of the power of couture and of the woman who wears it.</span></span></p><span style="font-size:small;"></span><p><strong><span style="font-size:small;font-family:'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">A Theme of Symbolism and Drama</span></strong></p><span style="font-size:small;"></span><p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">The Bridal Couture gown, was imagined within the theme of a modern masquerade, a masquerade that is not meant to hide. Part of a collection rooted in symbolism, drama, and the collision between identity and design. The dress was cut in crepe marocain, a fabric known for its structured drape and texture. But its core wasn&rsquo;t only in the silhouette, it was in the layers of craftsmanship stitched onto every fold, a signature of Tony Ward's atelier.</span></p>
