timeless

Oleg Cassini’s designs are celebrated for their ageless appeal, with styles that were as gorgeous in the 50’s as they are on any modern bride. Undoubtedly one of Oleg Cassini’s most loved looks was a lace illusion neckline dress with scalloped edging that was made for movie-star turned princess, Grace Kelly. One of her favourite dresses, it is even displayed at the Principality of Monaco’s museum and serves as a testament to his timeless influence.

Classic styles with contemporary updates are core to Oleg Cassini’s designs; beautiful lace, intricate appliques, and rich fabrics are often the centerpieces of his gowns.

Sophisticated touches that embrace femininity, Oleg Cassini wedding dresses are hand-embellished with thousands of pearls, crystals, and beads to create designs that are regal and highlight the romance of a once-in-a-lifetime extravagance. The ever-opulent Marilyn Monroe once wore a fire-engine red Oleg Cassini mermaid dress that set hearts- and silver screens- alight.

Feminine silhouettes, such as the mermaid and trumpet, are often featured in Oleg Cassini’s wedding gowns and are highlighted with a refined flair for gorgeous details and embellishments.

Perhaps this style icon’s most recognisable signature was the feminine elegance that was carried throughout each and every dress that he created. Fabrics, embellishing, and silhouettes all served the bride, working with restraint and simplicity to create a chic impact. So refined and classic, Oleg Cassini even became the personal stylist to first-lady, Jackie Kennedy, who gave him the title, “Secretary of Style to the White House.” His trend-setting styles for the former first lady – including an empire strapless gown – have had a big impact on wedding dress silhouettes throughout the decades.

Oleg Cassini’s cultivated essence is most easily captured in a classic ballgown silhouette, or in decadent fabrics that focus on a gracious and polished simplicity.
