Danielle Hirsch of Danielle Frankel first made her mark as a bridal designer. Hirsch, who cut her teeth at bridal powerhouses including Vera Wang, sought to redefine the concept of bridal. She created pieces that she defined as modern women shopping for themselves rather than their mothers. The response was rapid and positive: Many women gravitated toward the remixed bridal looks, choosing slinky slip dresses and silk separates. Hirsch noticed that women were rewearing their pared-back yet elegant wedding looks beyond the altar. Hirsch’s transition to ready-to-wear is a natural one, although there are tinges of bridal in her fall 2021 collection. The body-skimming white dresses with Hirsch’s signature flourishes certainly look like they’re made for getting married in. Also in that vein is a standout column dress with sheer sleeves and exaggerated shoulders created with layered lace flowers.
