George Wu ‘Wulfila’s Message’
Inspired by Pagan philosophy with the Pagan beliefs of
recognising the divine in the natural world, GEORGE WU’s bespoke bridal
collection “Wulfila’s Message’ is a sartorial feast of effortless silhouettes
and sensuous textures.
Derived from poetic vision and Pagan influence, the
collection unites an organic and ethereal aesthetic flirting with divinity and
symbolic imagery that exudes the breathtaking splendour of nature; a soft
contrast between rustic, organic lace and delicate textiles and silhouettes
that reflect both this and the primal and gentle concept of Pagan spirituality.
Celebrating the circle of life and birth, Paganism praises
the power of women, worshiping them as goddesses. With the celebration of this
at the core of the collection, Wu’s designs are feminine in design,
accentuating the female form with heavy construction and hidden corsets
resulting in effortless movement, fluid energy and floaty romantic designs.
Featuring opulent fabrics, stylistic silhouettes, delicate
hand-sewn embellishments and couture finishes, Wu has created a bridal
collection that is elegant yet with a high fashion aesthetic, combining his
masterful tailoring skills and classical training with innovative, modern
techniques.
Hand crafted from decadent laces, sheers and beaded
embellishments in ivory, nude and neutral hues, the eclectic inspiration behind
the design of the collection has formed a truly unique aesthetic for the
contemporary woman.
The collection is available by appointment at George Wu’s
Brisbane studio. For more information visit www.georgewu.com.au
