WONÁ x Eva Lendel - S/S27 - Presentation
There’s a quiet confidence to this collection—nothing forced, nothing chasing attention. The Spring/Summer 2027 collaboration between WONÁ and Eva Lendel leans into modern elegance with clarity and control. It’s bridal that understands exactly what it’s doing.
Presented at Mriya in Tribeca, the collection explores refined silhouettes through a lens of fresh femininity, corsetry that shapes without overwhelming, lace that feels intentional rather than ornamental, and volume used with precision instead of excess.
The opening looks establish the foundation: strapless, form-contoured gowns with intricate lace mapping the body like architecture rather than decoration. From there, the collection expands, with detachable skirts, sheer long-sleeve overlays, and structured bodices that transition seamlessly between ceremony and reception without losing identity.
What stands out most is the discipline. Even in the fuller ballgown moments, nothing feels overworked. The volume is clean. The lines are controlled. The embellishment never competes with the silhouette; it supports it.
There’s also a clear understanding of the modern bride’s duality. She wants impact, but she also wants ease. She wants presence, without feeling consumed by the dress. This collection delivers that balance with precision.
For Editors
This collection reinforces a continued shift in bridal toward structured femininity—where corsetry is not just aesthetic, but foundational. The recurring use of strapless bodices paired with detachable elements signals a sustained focus on modular design, allowing designers to serve both editorial and commercial narratives within a single look.
Notably, lace is handled with restraint. Instead of a heavy, all-over application, it’s placed with intention—tracing the body, defining seams, and enhancing structure. This aligns with the broader movement away from excess embellishment toward considered texture.
The presentation also underscores the staying power of the transitional gown—a single look that evolves throughout the day. This is no longer a trend; it’s becoming an expectation.
For the Bride
If you’re drawn to structure but don’t want to feel restricted, this collection understands you.
These gowns are designed to hold you—in the right places—while still allowing movement and ease. You’ll see dresses that can shift with your day: a full skirt for the ceremony, removed to reveal a more streamlined silhouette for the reception.
The details are refined, not overwhelming. You’re not competing with the dress—it’s working with you.
This is for the bride who wants to feel composed, elevated, and undeniably herself.
