Since 2001, VWIDON by Carla & Kenneth has been dressing more than a hundred stylish, sophisticated brides in Chicago each year. The unique designs come from the designers’ passion to create their own signature line through semi annual collections, and the unmatchable craftsmanship comes from the studio’s 20 years of working with each individual bride-to-be. VWIDON is one of the very few bridal boutiques where you can select a one of a kind designer gown, and receive made-to-measure couture fitting service at a single location. (Price range of the gowns: $3,000~$7,500)
VWIDON Atelier Chicago has been known for its elegant bridal collection and exceptional service for the fashion-forward brides. The atelier showcases a full range of VWIDON bridal collections including its Signature collection and Carla & Kenneth collection. The atelier also offers customized styles based on VWIDON collections. Complimentary consultation is by appointment only.
Designers, Carla and Kenneth met each other in their senior years at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After graduating from the school, they launched a partnership named VWIDON which was followed by their first bridal collection in 2001. From 2006 Carla and Kenneth started showing their collections to the bridal buyers in NY Bridal Fashion Week, and currently, VWIDON wedding gowns are available in major cities such as New York, San Francisco and London. In 2010, Carla and Kenneth were named as the winner of Fashion Next hosted by the Chicago History Museum, and the design has been exhibited alongside the works of legendary designers such as Jeanne Lanvin, Hubert de Givenchy, and Christian Dior at the museum’s special exhibition, ‘I do! Chicago Ties the Knot.’ Currently the dress is in the museum’s permanent collection. Carla & Kenneth present their 15~20 piece collection two times a year, and new styles are available for Chicago brides prior to NY Bridal Fashion Week.
VWIDON has been loved by the fashion-savvy, sophisticated brides throughout the cities of the United States and other countries for over more than 15 years.
Whether a classical wedding at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, a heart warming barn wedding in Kansas, a festive wedding in Italy, or a breathtaking wedding at Glacier National Park in Montana, VWIDON’s collection always brings out the joy and the brightness of each bride in the very best moment of her lifetime.
