Gwendolyn Gleason: Couture for the Eco-Chic Bride

For a decade, Gwendolyn Gleason worked as a design consultant in Italy, for major design houses in the sport industry and only recently returned to the United States, bringing with her inspiration and insight. Her travels took her to Paris, London, Prague, Amsterdam and Berlin as well, where she immersed herself in culture and couture and was featured in Italian fashion magazines like Mondo Uomo and Uomo Vogue. But her native America still called to her so she returned in the spring of 1997 to regroup and handle family responsibilities. That's when she conceived of the eco-chic designs that became Gwendolyn Gleason Couture.

"My design philosophy embraces a woman's femininity. My clothing details flatter the shape and diminish imperfections making the body look slender and trim with colors that are flattering to all skin types, not following any color forecast."

Each piece is designed with the most discriminating client in mind. From the delicate detail in her bridal and evening couture to the fine finishes in the line of sculptures accessories, Gwendolyn's designs are beautifully unique.

In this podcast, Gwendolyn speaks about her work to find gorgeous and eco-friendly alternative fabrics to create beautiful gowns.
