Romance Was Born's spring '25 collection drew inspiration from the cult classic film 'Muriel's Wedding', transforming Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art pop-up bar into a 1980s wedding reception. The collection features voluminous pink taffeta, baby's breath, and vintage wedding veil details, reflecting the brand's focus on bridal wear and upcycled fabrics. The designers incorporated film stills onto opera coats and ball gowns, creating a playful and elegant fusion of nostalgia and contemporary fashion.
For their spring ’25 collection Romance Was Born took over Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art pop-up bar and took it to the prom. Or a wedding reception, the kind their parents would have had in the 1980s, replete with a profusion of pink taffeta, baby’s breath, and balloons.
With the assistance of the National Sound and Film Archive of Australia, and tapping into their signature humor and grace, the pair transposed film stills of Muriel, played by Toni Colette, onto opera coats and ball gowns. Salvaged wedding veils made up a fluttering skirt on a bustier dress with a profusion of pink taffeta bows. A faded cotton floral, used on a heart-shaped dress, was actually upcycled bed sheets à la Muriel’s.
And there was more: a column dress strewn with white paillettes like confetti, a cocktail dress made entirely of strings of hearts. There was a complete absence of daywear, and Sales is unapologetic about this. “It’s definitely where we are as a brand and who we are.” The two are reigniting some wholesale accounts as of February, and are operating a successful pop-up boutique they hint could become permanent.
