Source Description
This photograph, showing the “Corina” wedding gown, is taken from the
official website of Israeli fashion designer
Galia Lahav
(
https://www.galialahav.com/bridal/couture/le-secret-royal/corina/).
The princess-like tiara, the corset with floral embellishments, and the voluminous
tulle skirt are staged in a fairy tale setting. The image is representative for
fashion company Galia Lahav’s claim to combine
luxury, elegance, and romance in its bridal fashion. Perhaps this was one of the
reasons why this photograph was chosen as illustration for an entry in the local
wedding guide
“
Kuchenbuchs
Hochzeitskatalog”
[
Kuchenbuch’s
Wedding Catalog] entitled “True Haute Couture in Hamburg” (pp. 48-51),
which reports on Galia Lahav’s bridal fashions
while pointing out that the first European flagship store of the Israeli company was
opened in 2016 at
Mittelweg 21a in
Hamburg.
