& FOR LOVE
TORONTO, ON
Longtime friends Angel Spendlove and Lisa Blunt bring a wealth of diverse experience to their avant garde & For Love bridal collection. Angel, an Australian Ballet School-trained dancer with a degree in architecture and Lisa, who cut her fashion teeth at Jeanne Beker’s FQ magazine, teamed up in 2014 and have been defining “chill bride chic” ever since. “Our client wants to feel like a bride but not look like a pretend, cake-top version of herself,” Angel says.
& For Love designers Angel Spendlove and Lisa Blunt offer a dreamy confection for the Cashmere Collection Masquerade Ball. Their deceptively simple two- piece gown features braided trim, pert puffed sleeves, and handkerchief-edged overlays draped atop its fluid floor-length skirt. The real magic, though, may be in the candlelight- catching moon and star sequins twinkling from the ballgown’s snowy “firmament.” Not to mention the flirty, fringed one-eye mask.
