Melbourne bridal boutique Raffaele Ciuca has signed on a new selection of designer labels to add to its upcoming season ranges, including international designer Vivienne Westwood.
The boutique now offers the Vivienne Westwood ‘Made-to-Order and Couture Bridal 2026 Collection’, alongside other designer inclusions from the likes of Vera Wang, Nicole + Felicia, Steven Khalil, and others.
According to Raffaele Ciuca, Australian brides can see, touch, and experience Vivienne Westwood’s designs in person. The collection launches at the same time as the work of Vivienne is spotlighted in a headline exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.
The new ranges cover hand-sculpted corsetry to duchesse satins, all in various silhouettes.
"Our brides are looking for gowns that reflect their personality and sophistication,” Raffaele Ciuca managing director Patricia Pallozzi said. “This season, we’re proud to showcase a selection of designers who represent the pinnacle of bridal couture. From Vivienne Westwood’s daring elegance to Vera Wang’s classic romance, our collection is about giving every bride a moment that feels entirely hers."
The collections can be viewed through private appointments at Raffaele Ciuica’s Emporium in Brunswick, with a photo gallery of the styles on its website.
Being made-to-order, prices are not listed; however, mini dresses sold by Vivienne Westwood’s Australian online store under the bridal category are being sold for mid to high four figures.
