"I want to encourage women to show themselves with all their edges and flaws. To shine and that from inside."
Karin Brettmeister is the creative heart behind Berlin label Ritual Unions. She started the label in 2017 after designing couture collections in New York for designers including Marchesa and J.Mendel. An award winning designer, Karin returned home to Berlin where she now makes all her pieces in her studio from hand, using beautiful quality silks and laces.
Her new collection SHINE is full of intricate details and laces and includes the jaw dropping maximalist Shadow gown - in black. For lovers of silks, the Serene top with Allie skirt is an equally jaw-dropping look. And for those anti-brides wishing to wear something other than a dress or skirt - the Sleek jacket and pants are a beautiful match. For this brides wishing to have two looks in one, the Mellow cape is your pick. Pair it with a beautifully minimalist slip such as the Yaiza dress, to have the best of both worlds.
With stockists throughout Germany, and a busy trunk show schedule, Shine is said to hit our shores at the end of July. Please find the full trunk show schedule below :
