On Monday, October 13, couture brand Nicole + Felicia debuted its first runway show at New York Bridal Fashion Week in New York City. Founded by two sisters, Nicole and Felicia Chang from Taiwan, the brand is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
With a background in manufacturing, the brand’s creative director, Nicole Chang, has been working towards a runway show for many years. The brand was put on the map when celebrities began adorning themselves in their custom garments—from Taylor Swift wearing a bedazzled blue gown during her Eras Tour to Jennifer Lopez’s gorgeous pink mermaid gown at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, Chang has demonstrated a strong eye for sophistication and impeccable tailoring. Every year, the brand releases four collections: two bridal and two eveningwear.
In honor of this year’s 10th anniversary, Nicole + Felicia created 30 looks for their Fall/Winter 2026 bridal collection. Structure was vital — corsetry was popular, while several dresses were stiffly shaped to flow beautifully around the models’ ankles. Tiny, tiny beadwork was also present, which demonstrated the time and effort the Nicole + Felicia team put into creating this collection. Finally, there’s no bridal collection without florals, and the brand didn’t disappoint! From beaded flowers to 3D fabric ones on veils, there was no shortage of traditional bridal cuts, themes, and silhouettes.
