Her goal is to combine top quality, modern look and a fair price-performance in her designs. \u00a0Bridal Times spoke with the ambitious designer about her career and the perfect wedding dress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kerstin, how did you first get started in bridal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The design of bridal dresses is of the most demanding and supreme disciplines. It fascinated me and the wedding dress itself. Even as a child, I played with my mother&#8217;s wedding dress for hours until it fell apart. I think that probably influenced me. After completing my fashion design studies, I gained 10 years of experience in the field of women\u2019s apparel. I was not only responsible for design, but also for worldwide production and trend scouting. After acting as Head of Design &amp; Marketing and Management, I felt ready to start my own company: That&#8217;s how K\u00fcssdiebraut in 2009 was established.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you want to achieve with K\u00fcssdiebraut? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the start-up phase of the brand, I noticed that there were very few European bridal labels that could combine a modern design, a high quality standard and a reasonable price-performance ratio. I wanted to be able to close this gap with K\u00fcssdiebraut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And were you able to achieve that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have! I am able to work very freely and creatively with the best materials and finest fabrics. Love is really in the details, as the saying goes. And the price calculation is also fair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspires you? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I collect my inspiration consciously and unconsciously, all the time and everywhere. I draw and take notes, and they all go in a big collection box. When it\u2019s time to get into the creative phase, I have many great ideas that I can implement with fabrics and the just right ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there fast-paced trends in bridal fashion like in women\u2019s apparel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The trends in bridal fashion are not quite as short term as they are in women\u2019s apparel. Here it is slower. There are, of course, various fashionable styles: The nature-loving hippie bride, the nostalgic bride in the style of \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d, the cheerful-cheeky retro bride with a petticoat in the fifties style or the popular princess bride look. For me, I am rather more concerned that the bride is not \u201cdressed up\u201d, but feels comfortable in the dress all together. It has to be authentic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which trends and styles have you implemented in your current collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The typical Kussdiebraut look is simple, modern and straightforward. I love the 1970&#8217;s Boho chic wedding dresses with light, delicate, and different laced fabrics &#8211; especially in the casual combination of our cool denim jacket. In general, our wedding dresses have a simple, demure style, which is individually designed with matching accessories for every bride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kussdiebraut offers a Plus Size Line with sizes starting at 48 \u2013 are there any differences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t make much difference in the cut or material selection. So there is no special collection, but the motto is &#8220;Same dress for all&#8221;, which means that I have simply expanded our size range to size 52. These brides get the same beautiful vintage look with the same noble materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think makes perfect wedding dress?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A bridal gown is perfect when the bride suits the dress and doesn\u2019t looked \u201cdressed up\u201d. She has to feel wonderful and comfortable in her gown so that she can be carefree and enjoy her big day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a tip on how you sell bridal fashion and what to consider while keeping the bride\u2019s best interests in mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A natural, friendly and honest togetherness is the most important thing. The fitting of a bridal gown is something very special and quite intimate \u2013 In these days, how often is a person dressed and undressed by another person that you don\u2019t know? It\u2019s with fun and absolute joy in this wonderful product, that nothing can really go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Further information on K\u00fcssdieBraut in the German language:\u00a0<a
