Meanwhile, Moira Hughes, the Sydney, Australia-based bridal designer who recently celebrated her 10th year anniversary in business, will be showcasing her Alchemy collection at One Fine Day Bridal Market from Wednesday, Oct. 11, through Friday, Oct. 13, Level 14, Canoe Studios (601 W. 26th St., Manhattan).  

Hughes, who will be in Booth E4, said of the collection: “Much like an alchemist turns base metals into precious ones, this collection skillfully plays with the fluidity of drape, the incorporation of pearls and crystal, transformative additions and hand-beaded details. In Alchemy, you’ll discover gowns that go beyond the traditional, where each is a testament to the artistry of transformation.  

“Alchemy is designed for the bride who seeks something truly distinctive. It’s for the woman who embraces transformational details and craves a touch of high fashion and personality in her gown – a gown that is meticulously crafted to be an extension of her identity, a dress that feels like ‘her.’” 

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 11 and 12 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 13, with sunset drinks from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 11.  To register, click here.
