Did you move to the US permanently?

Yes, indeed. I've made the leap across the pond, and here I am, embracing a new chapter of my design journey in the US!

How would you describe the evolution of your brand's aesthetic over the years?

My brand's aesthetic is a delicate dance between the timeless allure of classic design and the undeniable allure of sensuality. With every collection, I strive to intertwine elegance and allure seamlessly, believing they should coexist harmoniously.

Tell us about the evolution of Idan Cohen this season.

Rather than a complete reinvention, this season marks a rejuvenation for me, as I find myself in a fresh environment, navigating the intricacies of a new country.

What can we expect from the new COLLECTION(s)?

I'm thrilled to introduce two distinct lines. IDAN ATELIER embodies my creative dreams, a realm where I can explore limitless ideas with exquisite fabrications. The other line, IDAN, exudes restraint and simplicity while still staying true to the refined aesthetic I've cultivated over the years.

Describe the collaboration between the atelier and production.

Collaboration is at the heart of our process. Working closely with my design studio and pattern maker, I infuse each dress bearing the Idan label with couture techniques and meticulous attention to detail.

When and where will you debut the collections?

I'm excited to debut at New York Luxury Bridal Fashion Week this April 2nd with a Runway Fashion show and cocktail reception at the iconIC St. Regis Hotel, marking the beginning of a journey that will also include showcases in Europe.

What serves as your inspiration this season?

Nature's beauty, particularly the enchanting allure of flowers, serves as my muse this season. Whether exploring local gardens or traversing the globe, I find endless inspiration in the intricate details of floral landscapes.

What fabrics and techniques are prominent in this collection?

This season sees a harmonious blend of lace in varying thicknesses, alongside luxurious crepe and satin. However, the true showstoppers are the meticulously handcrafted embroideries, each bearing a unique twist. I personally bead French lace, adding a three-dimensional EFFECT to select areas, while also crafting stunning 3D flowers entirely by hand.

What are the retail price points for the collections?

The IDAN Collection ranges from $4,750 to $6,900, while IDAN ATELIER features price points from $7,000 to $20,000, offering a spectrum of options for discerning clientele.

WHERE WILL YOU BE SHOWING YOUR NEW COLLECTIONS?

THE COLLECTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SEE AS PART OF THE MELANGE DE BLANC SHOW AT CENTER 415. CONTACT CHRISTINA WETTSTEIN AT COTERIE WHITE: CHRISTINA@COTERIEWHITE.COM
