The Unconventional Bride.

Brides are known for their innocence and pure beauty. Typically their dresses are ceremonial, their heads are covered by a veil and usually their wedding dress is specifically for that occasion and a style that can not be worn to any other events. 
German designer, Kaviar Gauche, however stirred a great deal of controversy at Berlin fashion week in January 2012 when he show cased an unconventional wedding dress. 
The models walked down the runway wearing a couple of diminutive pieces of fabric joined together with a central strip, and the whole ‘outfit’ was masked by a sheer veil, contradicting everything that a traditional wedding dress is meant to be.

In my opinion by creating a controversial wedding dress such as in the images below, Gauche is questioning the meaning of tradition and modesty and moreover who determines what modesty is and what is appropriate at this sacred time.  



The images below reveal the 'G-string' wedding dress showcased by Kaviar Gauche at Berlin Fashion Week.
