Molly Goddard Launches Bridal With 12 Other-Worldly Wedding Dresses

Molly Goddard, London’s queen of tulle, has launched 12 wedding dresses with room for customisation. The Molly Goddard bridal price range, from £1,800 for simpler wedding dress styles to £10,000 for the ornate bridal pieces, opens up Molly Goddard bridal to…

It’s no surprise that Molly Goddard, London’s queen of tulle, has been eyeing a move into bridalwear for some time. At Goddard’s pared-back but utterly joyful spring 2021 show, the designer told British Vogue that wedding dresses seemed like a “no brainer” for the brand. Many of her friends have walked down the aisle wearing an adapted Molly Goddard spring 2018 style with smocking at the waist and a simple square neckline. A stream of customers navigating pandemic nuptials have also looked to the label for fantastical off-the-rack pieces to say I do to. Now, one of Britain’s brightest fashion stars is unveiling 12 exquisite ivory, cream and white pieces made for modern brides looking for dramatic homespun designs over traditional frou frou.

“It’s a big undertaking making someone’s wedding dress,” says Goddard over the phone from her east London studio, an old umbrella factory that was once Wolfgang Tillmans’s UK base. “By creating 12 designs with slight room for customization, it’s a straightforward way of doing bridalwear that’s more feasible for us and for our customers.” Each of the creations—from the frothy Simona dress made for dance-floor twirling to the business-at-the-top, riotous-ruffles-down-below Aidah shirt dress—can be tweaked in fit, color and material, with delectable ribbon trim also offering a bespoke feel. The price range—from £1,800 for simpler styles to £10,000 for ornate pieces that take a week to create—also opens up Molly Goddard bridal to a wider audience than most traditional wedding designers.

At the heart of the romantic collection is a sense of lightheartedness. “I’m not belittling marriage, but there has to be an energy to it that’s not stern or serious,” says Goddard, who is engaged herself. “You can dance and move in all the dresses.” Metallic blue strappy shoes and veils that can be dyed a myriad Molly Goddard hues also inject joy and originality into the line-up, which will appeal to brides who, like the designer herself, are keen to avoid a cookie-cutter look.

Goddard, who is weighing up whether to design a simple wedding dress for herself or to create the biggest tulle dress the world has ever seen, says the bridal edit has been “a nice way of seeing all the options” for her own big day. For Molly Goddard fans who will find it impossible to choose between her new confections, she points to the Aubrey and Violet models, which are “comfortable and easy, yet feel really special and can be hemmed to wear again and again.”

“It has been interesting putting together a smaller collection and thinking about different people’s desires, as opposed to one theme,” muses Goddard on the experience of communicating more with her customers throughout the process. Her most high-profile wedding dress commission to date was for Agyness Deyn, an experience she describes as “laid-back and lovely,” with just one stress-free fitting. If Goddard can imbue all brides with that same sense of calm, while enveloping them in the most wonderful fabrics, she’ll have customers queuing around the block. Consider her the anti-bridezilla option for cool girls who’d rather wed in riotous ruffles than traditional lace.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
