Brides and their maids have all the more reason to celebrate now that acclaimed costume designers Alix Friedberg and Kelly Mijailovic have released their collection of classic, luxurious, and affordable dresses designed for more than one-day wear. With 28 years’ combined experience dressing finicky actresses in over a dozen feature films, including Gone Baby Gone , Dan in Real Life, and the upcoming futuristic film Game starring Gerard Butler and Amber Valletta, Alix and Kelly have refined their keen ability to flatter any woman’s body.
Now they’ve taken their skills from the big screen to the big day.
The alix&kelly collection reflects its designers’ passion for timeless beauty. All garments—from bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses to flower girl dresses and yes, even the groomsmen’s neckties—are crafted with only the finest fabric. “We pay close attention to the construction, fabrication, and fit of our dresses so that women will want to wear them again and again,” says Alix, who the Hollywood Reporter recently recognized as one of ten people under 35 worth watching.
Though alix&kelly officially launched May, 2008, Hollywood had its hands on the coveted collection long before. The dresses were featured in a December, 2007 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County and adorned the divas of CSI Miami last March. Though Alix and Kelly love Hollywood’s attention, their biggeest joy comes from helping real brides and maids feel their most beautiful and confident on their big day and beyond.
