10 Questions with Dylan Parienty of Dylan Parienty Paris

Designer Dylan Parienty

1) How did you get interested in designing wedding dresses?

I have been passionate and inspired by the fashion art world since I was 6 years old. I was drawing voluminous gowns since I can remember.

Through the years, I got myself into designing wedding gowns as I loved the idea to reach the closest look to red carpet and Haute Couture impressive looks.

Wedding gowns became a limitless vision. I love the idea to take bridal designs out of the rules and the classic style and I always look for new horizons for bridal.

2) What is your background before you opened Dylan Parienty Paris?

Before opening my brand,  I studied fashion design in “Shenkar – Engineering. Design. Art”. While studying, I was already freelancing and had my private clientele for custom made looks.

I have also worked in parallel for the beautiful Inbal Dror in Israel and then I was an intern at worldwide haute couture designer’s Giambattista Valli in Paris, experiences that I consider exclusive in the life of a growing artist.

3) Where are your offices, showrooms and production based?

We are deeply proud of the opening of our new showroom and offices in Paris 8e in June 2021 where we produce our gowns for worldwide distribution and welcome our European brides. We do a lot of custom made there as well.

I also have my private showroom in Tel Aviv, Israel that I use mostly where I do all my business development designs. We also have an office in NY as our global sales and PR office.

4) Describe your design vision.

My vision of design is mostly to transfer dreams and emotion. 

I am passionate about mixing contrast and taking elements that are not part of the bridal DNA and have fun introducing them into my bridal signature to create a dream and evoke emotions.

5) What fabrics and techniques do you like to work in?

I love particularly working on the sculptural side of bridal; this is why I love to use tulle and especially pleated tulle. It allows me to create infinite volumes and structures by the crispy and stiff texture of the tulle. 

I also love creating my own beading. The world of beading is something that really interests me and I truly enjoy creating them myself as it allows me to create unique silhouettes and sculptures using draping techniques.

6) How would you describe the bride who wears your dresses?

A bride that wears a #dpp gown is a bride that wants to feel unique and different. She feels empowered by simply standing or walking down the aisle. She has her own taste and brings her own personality with the house’s signature. She creates magic and emotions with the simplest dress or the most extravagant look.

7) What is your inspiration for this season?

Inspiration for this season is mostly ocean theme and desert for Couture 22. The collection is named: “Here Comes the Sun”. I have developed new prints and new laces inspired by the sea, sea rocks that you can retrieve on gown structures, dress shapes of taft and tulle layers that remind us of waves.

I wanted to give hope after a very difficult times and give birth to a collection that is healing, soulful, and hopeful.

With this collection in particular, my vision is to empower women, and inspire them to keep on dreaming. Each gown is meant to bring hope as well as beauty to women’s lives.

For Secret 22, I have created patterns inspired by the most beautiful French gardens with 3D flowers mixed with “La Belle Epoque” silhouettes, which became the name of the collection.

Most of the dresses of this collection captured and created detailed and embroidered flowers that I managed to mix with today's fashion trends.

8) Tell us about your collaboration with other artists?

We are a brand that absolutely loves to collaborate with brands and artists. We love to mix our universe with others. It allows us to go out of our control zone and to achieve new goals. 

March 2019 marked the debut of the brand on the international scene when our brand was chosen to design and handcraft the stage costumes and red carpet outfits for Bilal Hassani, the French singing artist that represents the Eurovision 2019 that was seen by over 182 million viewers.

Another example of a fun collaboration is with the ready-to-wear brand "Don’t Call Me Jennyfer" that collaborated with us to create a capsule street couture collection for the end of the year holiday season.

The collection was sold out in more than 360 stores and online on jennyfer.com

9) Tell us about the look of the evening wear collection?

“Luxury” is the evening wear collection of the brand and also the line closest to my heart and passion. 

It represents my organic expression of feeling free and limitless to translate my savoir faire, my DNA, my signature. I always say that the evening wear collection is the best version of creativity.

Nothing can stop me: volume, color, fabrics, beading, shapes… 

I am constantly drawing “red carpet” sketches. I grew up with the ultimate goal to become one day, the artist behind the woman’s grace in her spotlight moment.
“Luxury” is outlined by my fashion signature from the structured pleated tulle ball gown to the giant bows details, the Swarovski embellishment and infinite unique combinations of fabrics.

10) Have you dressed any red -carpet celebrities?

We are proud to have dressed and styled many European and Middle East artists, actors, models and  singers such as Shira Haas, Billal Hassani, Lena Mahfouf, Vitaa, Nabilla, Camille Cerf and many more.

In the USA, we are still a growing brand but we have been honored to be featured in L’Officiel with Winnie Harlow and Coco Rocha. We have many upcoming collaborations.
