Pave Your Own Path for Fall 2025
For the new collection, Galia Lahav Couture honors the visionaries of today and tomorrow, while embarking on an exciting adventure into the luxurious, opulent and revolutionary past. As the dressmaker of young Queen Marie Antoinette in the late 18th century, Rose Breton set game-changing fashion trends and pioneered what we now know as French haute couture.
Christened the “Minister of Fashion,” Breton also established the concept of style and wardrobe as a powerful form of self-expression and tool to reflect, and influence, culture and society at-large.
"There are no new fashions, a queen does not follow fashion — it follows her.”
Madam Breton’s enduring impact lives on to today, especially in Galia Lahav Couture’s upcoming collection, titled “Suivez Moi” — or “follow me.” The expansive line offers versatility and a wealth of silhouette, sumptuous fabrication and exquisite detail options. So brides can make their own boundary-breaking statement on their wedding day — and leave their own unforgettable legacy.
"The 'Suivez Moi' collection invites brides to step into their own power, embodying the spirit of a queen whose presence dictates the fashion,” says Head Designer Sharon Sever, who put inventive, out-of-the-box twists onto beautiful signatures of Rococo art and design for Fall 2025.
For instance, resplendent French lace embroidery on the sultry mermaid Noblesse gown, and the dramatic Pompadour trumpet dress, showcase exquisite scrollwork patterns of the era. The blush layers of tulle both speak to the ethereal pastel palettes of late-18th century French style, but flaunt today’s fearless attitude to wear whatever color you want to your wedding.
The shimmering floral-appliquéd Fortuna depicts organic elements, flowing shapes and whimsical play with light — all favored by Rococo artists. But, the ethereal A-line gown boasts forward-thinking innovation, as Sever cleverly harnessed AI to create the captivating 3D floral beading. The black tie Duchess set also conveys modernity, with a versatile two-piece format and almost-futuristic, gleaming silk mikado. The swooping neckline corset, with a serpentine wave-like hem evokes the curves prevalent in Rococo décor, while the ball gown skirt conjures nature-referential flowing water.
Across the collection, Galia Lahav’s masterful corsetry defines the alluring arcs and contours glorified by French artists of the Baroque period. Innovation-meets-historical reverence through cutting-edge fabric manipulation and avant garde embellishment techniques on the finest of fabrics, textiles and ornamentation. Convertible options, like matching veils, detachable trains and sleeves, plus opera gloves and bolero jackets, give brides boundless opportunities to be their own Minister of Fashion on their wedding day, restyle for future special occasions and forever treasure the look.
“Galia and myself wanted to create a collection that is not only a tribute to Breton's ingenuity, but also a reflection of today's modern bride — confident, bold, and empowered to lead.” - Sharon Sever
