Indie Designer Interviews: Ottilie Brodmann


We love all of the amazing independent designers out there. In order to find out more about just what makes all of these creative types tick, we present to you an ongoing segment called Indie Designer Interviews.

Today's interview is with the talented New Orleans-based fashion designer Elsa Brodmann. Elsa designs modern, feminine ready to wear and bridal collections, as well as jewelry.

Jenna Bush gets married, wears a rockin' dress


Jenna Bush got married this weekend at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas, and we're sure her new husband, Henry Hager, had no regrets as to his choice when he saw her walking down the aisle. Jenna was dressed in an Oscar de la Renta gown that we just loved -- it had a simple silhouette, but an intricate design with embroidered organza and matte beading from the very top to the end of her chapel-length train.

Not everyone looked so sharp, however -- check out the gallery to see what we loved and what we could've done without.

Wedding dresses have pockets now. Neat!

We'll be honest. We weren't even aware that J.Crew sold wedding dresses, but tonight, we have discovered that not only does the brand with which we will forever associate the "barn jacket" have wedding dresses, but they have wedding dresses with pockets. We're not quite sure how we feel about this. On the one hand, it's a wedding dress, which already puts it at a disadvantage because you will never wear it again and for God's sake, it's for a wedding. On the other hand, if you're going to wear a wedding dress, why wouldn't you want a place to stash...your car keys? Because everyone knows that every bride always needs to have her keys handy. Or something.

(By the way, looking at the picture on the left, is it just us or does this make her look pregnant?)

$13,000 wedding gown with 90 ft train

It seems that for many women if there's one day in you life to be ridiculously lavish, and spare no expense, it's your wedding. That was certainly the case for one bride in South China, who, on her big day, wore a dress with a 90ft train.

The $13,000 dress took 10 tailors to make it, 45 days to sew it, and 20 people to carry it.

Let's put this in perspective. That's 77 feet longer than Queen Elizabeth's gown, 65 feet longer than Princess Diana's gown, and three first downs on an American football field. E.nor.mous.

The original article is in Chinese, so I have no idea what it says, but I'm guessing this woman is either disgustingly rich, or won the dress in some kind of contest. Seeing as the train bearers are all wearing jeans and sneakers, I'm guessing it's the latter.

Either way, the gown is certainly impressive.

And to see the complete opposite, check out the ugliest bridesmaid dresses of all time!
