Isabell Kristensen, under the creative direction of Martin Kristensen, unveiled a bridal collection that fused haute couture luxury with an almost sculptural approach to the female silhouette.
A bold, romantic, and highly sophisticated proposal that turned the runway into a true stage of moving art.
Based between Monaco and London, the maison is led by a family duo, Isabell and Martin, mother and son, each heading a flagship store.
In this new chapter, Martin takes creative control of the bridal line and reaffirms his mission: to bring the savoir-faire of haute couture to brides who dare to dream big.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection was anything but conventional. Inspired by the structured lines of funnel corsets and Victorian-era techniques like Charles Worth’s cages, Martin presented a series of gowns that merged fashion engineering with visual emotion.
Each model resembled a living sculpture, bodies sculpted with geometric precision, fabrics manipulated with near-obsessive detail, and a dramatic presence that commanded attention.
Despite the technical complexity, the collection remained clean and balanced. Symmetry guided the gaze, while haute couture fabrics were reimagined into contemporary forms.
The contrast between unapologetic romanticism and formal restraint resulted in a visually striking yet never excessive collection. Martin’s fascination with the female form was evident in every design, created to celebrate the body with both grandeur and grace.
Known for dressing icons such as Nicole Kidman, Katy Perry, Paris Hilton, and even Princess Charlene of Monaco, the house of Isabell Kristensen proved in Barcelona that its creative universe extends far beyond the red carpet.
In the end, the applause was inevitable. Martin Kristensen’s vision stood as a tribute to haute couture’s legacy, with eyes set firmly on the future. And for brides who want more than just a gown, who seek a true work of art — the answer is here.
