Model Daphne Groeneveld wore Galia Lahav for her wedding in Florence

Everyone has their own unique vision for their fairytale wedding. For Dutch model Daphne Groeneveld, her vision saw her and her now-husband, realtor Justin Hopwood, wed at the awe-inspiring Villa Medicia di Lilliano in Florence. On top of this, Groeneveld’s, not one, but two stunning custom dresses were fantastical in their own right. Designed by New York-based couturier Galia Lahav, the first was an elegant slip-style dress with a sensual back cutout. The second, which Groeneveld donned at the reception, was an equally gorgeous strapless mini with an asymmetric train and feather details. Bridesmaids also wore custom Galia Lahav silk dresses in sage green with each choosing her favorite silhouette. From the dress to the venue, everything about Groeneveld and Hopwood’s Italian wedding looked picture-perfect. Read the full feature on Vogue Weddings here.

Solange Knowles to compose for NYC Ballet

Solange Knowles has added yet another string to her bow. The Grammy-Award winning singer, songwriter, and visual artist has been commissioned by New York City Ballet to compose a new score, which will debut at the company’s annual Fall Fashion Gala on Wednesday, September 28 at Lincoln Center. The piece will mark Knowles’ first ballet composition, and will be written for chamber ensemble and performed by some of the composer’s frequent musical collaborators. It will be choreographed by Gianna Reisen, who will be making her third work for NYCB and will feature costumes by fashion designer Alejandro Gómez Palomo. In addition to the World Premiere by Knowles, the evening will include a World Premiere ballet by Kyle Abraham (costume design by Giles Deacon), the live performance premiere of Justin Peck’s Solo (costume design by Raf Simons), and excerpts from George Balanchine’s Symphony in C (costume design by Marc Happel).
This year’s event will honor Sarah Jessica Parker, a vice chair of the NYCB Board of Directors, who conceived the Fall Fashion Gala in 2012. To date, the concept has raised more than $24 million for NYCB with nearly 30 internationally acclaimed designers participating. After the gala, Knowles’ work will subsequently be performed on Saturday, October 1 at 2pm; Saturday, October 8 at 2pm and 8pm; Tuesday, October 11 at 7:30pm; and Sunday, October 16 at 3pm.
