LVR x NYBFW

What an incredible moment for us—to be in NYC together for Bridal Fashion Week. It has been a big goal of ours since we first dreamt up LVR, and we are so proud and truly thrilled to have made it happen. It felt like the perfect time to gather a small group of friends and collaborators to celebrate the moment with us.

We invited an intimate group to the beautiful Atarah Gallery in Brooklyn for a small viewing of pieces from our Hand in Hand Collection. To set the scene, we projected a short clip: fragments from our LVR shoots interwoven with snippets of film—strangers dancing, light drifting across the frame, artists who inspire us, and moments, textures, and small obsessions that have been lingering in our minds lately.

The room was lit in red, and black-and-white film flickered across a draped sheet of silk that moved gently with the wind—truly a magical moment.

We hung new styles with red ribbon, allowing guests to step closer—to touch the fabrics, study the silhouettes, and see the intricate details up close.

The atmosphere felt fun, romantic, and intimate - effortlessly vibey, and unmistakably New York. Friends, collaborators, and new faces moved slowly through the space, drinks in hand, pausing to take in each piece up close. Conversations hummed softly while the film played in the background, casting shifting black-and-white light across the gallery. It was relaxed and cinematic, the kind of evening that felt both spontaneous and quietly special.

A special thank you to our girl Emma Anderson for capturing the evening so beautifully - our ultimate hype girl and the best behind the lens. And to the sweetest Atarah from Atarah Gallery, thank you for hosting us in such a special space and for your creative vision that helped bring the whole night to life. We couldn’t have imagined a better place, or better people, to share it with.
