Project Runway Designers' Wedding Dresses for Kate Middleton
Designers from all eight seasons of "Project Runway" submitted their fantasy sketches for Kate Middleton's wedding gown.
Daniel Franco
Seasons 1 & 2
Swarovski crystals applied on Chantilly lace on an 11-foot train. Top bodice dips in back. Lace shirred for dreamlike volume. Satin-back crepe silk dress cut on the bias. Bouquet of creamy white daffodils, the national symbol of Wales.
Nora Caliguri
Season 1
"I focused on the pieces I’ve seen Kate wear, and my favorite type of wedding dress to design: a modern one. My design accentuates her waist and has structure. A sense of sexiness is still very important, so I envisioned an open back and sheer top that shows just enough skin. It’s youthful, pretty, chic and classic."
Kara Saun
Season 1
“This gown embodies the same daring nature and beauty as the soon-to-be princess. Exuding romantic sophistication, with the body-conscious shapes that she has become known for. The ultra-luxe elegance is the ultimate fit for Kate as she continues her rise as one of the dynamic fashion icons of our time. The dress is available in red or white.”
Nick Verreos
Season 2
“Ivory silk Mikado column gown, featuring hand-sewn Swarovski crystals, with high bateau neckline, drop-shoulder and plunging back detail, and a fit-to-flare silhouette. An antique Chantilly lace and silk tulle veil and detachable exaggerated cascading train give a dramatic effect along with the 'Spencer Crown' that Princess Diana wore to her wedding.
Heidi Elnora
Season 2
"Kate's gown represents a new era of royalty. Her signature look is very simple and clean. The gown that I designed for her reflects her classic sense of style with a royal flair."
Emmett McCarthy
Season 2
Mychael Knight
Season 3
"Young, fresh, and regal. The mermaid silhouette plays up the future royal’s fantastic figure. The dress is sexy, but the tulle detail and peplum give the dress a playful feel. I added a belt to give this refined gown a modern edge."
Malan Breton
Season 3
"I would love to see Kate Middleton in something nontraditional for the Western world, a dress inspired by the colors of Asian weddings. For example, my OUI for Mattison by Malan Breton gown in Venetian red would be a modern and youthful twist to a classic English wedding, adding a splash of color to her already beautiful complexion."
Johnathan Kayne
Season 3
"The bodice and length of this gown are three-dimensional Chantilly lace accented with real gold and silver embroidery, and delicately beaded with Swarovski crystals and real pearls. The portrait collar is silk taffeta. The box-pleated silk taffeta hostess skirt is detachable. This silhouette will accentuate Kate’s best features.
Vincent Libretti
Season 3
"I see Kate as soft, easy and modern, yet sophisticated in a natural sort of way."
