The designer described the 'incredibly beautiful relationship of trust and intimacy' that comes from creating a wedding dress for someone.
that Clare Waight Keller was stepping down for role at the helm of Givenchy. The first woman to lead the brand in its history, Waight Keller has left an undeniable mark on the French luxury house. One of her, ahem, crowning moments was dressing Meghan Markle for her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Today, the designer has taken to Instagram to reminisce about creating one of the most iconic wedding dresses in history.
“Two years ago today I was in the final fittings for a very secret dress,” she began a lengthy post detailing the “incredibly beautiful relationship of trust and intimacy” that comes from creating a wedding dress for someone, not least the newest member of the British royal family. “So many emotions were running through me during those months leading up to the big day.
Waight Keller added that the process of creating Meghan’s dress brought back memories of her own wedding 20 years prior. “You remember every moment so clearly and realize the significance of every detail and decision. In so many ways you are capturing your dreams, that as a girl and as you become a woman you will have been thinking about for many years.”
The designer writes that “purity and simplicity were the guiding principles” for Meghan’s dress. She also added that there was also the “narrative of nature through the 53 florals of the Commonwealth to bring the world into the journey of the ceremony” and that “classical timeless beauty” was what Meghan wanted to achieve with the look.
Speaking of the wedding, Waight Keller wrote, “It was obvious the significance of this occasion was more than any other, it would be a very personal ceremony with so many choices that would reflect both the bride and groom’s heritage and their unique way of being incredibly inclusive, genuine and generous.”
