A TRIUMPHANT TRIO
Over a five year period, Irina and Maxim Donner launched not one, not two but three individual bridal labels, starting first with Lisa Donetti in 2007, then Diane Legrand in 2011, and finally Novabella in 2012.
Positioned at the top of the middle market and with a focus on design excellence, each in this threesome has a well-earned reputation for delivering affordable luxury. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the Euro Donner Mode portfolio of more that 100 new styles every year, is the first choice of 1,000 quality bridal boutiques in 35 countries across the globe.
This vibrant company believes that building relationships with its stockists is invaluable – from granting all-important area exclusivity to supplying material such as imagery and catalogues that can be branded to an individual retailer, and to strategising social media and advertising support. Another reason for the Euro Mode Donner success? Without a doubt.
And the design direction across the labels defines the latest trends. The 2021 ranges, which will go on show at European Bridal Week in Essen, 4-6 July, signal confidence and an appreciation of luxury detailing and special touches.
In Diane Legrand, for example, simply silhouettes that celebrate classic elegance and urban styling tell a story of romance in a glorious mix of boho chic and vintage flair. There are A-lines and princess silhouettes, sleek gowns that are impeccably cut, floral fabrics and glorious laces in the softest shades of pastel rose, Champagne, and the all-essential ivories and whites. Swirling skirts that billow and float made up of layer upon layer of the finest tulle, bodices encrusted with intricate lace motifs that cascade down, threads of crystals forming shoulder caps, illusion back panels and narrow sleeves that show up each embellishment.
Special features in the new Lisa Donetti, Italian-inspired collection include floral accents and unusual decorative elements, while Novabella, the portfolio’s young fresh range, is characterised by light and flowing fabrics.
Says Irina Donner: “With our products, we are optimally positioned: we can not only equip our bride with the right gown, but can also offer her the matching jewellery, with Emmerling in our stable. At the same time, we are respect the importance of giving out retailers the best possible service and are committed to ensuring a smooth process from start to finish.”
