Situated in California’s San Joaquin Valley, Daughters of Simone draws inspiration from American themes and culture, specializing in bridal gowns and suits. The silhouettes reflect a blend of Victorian and Western influences, as well as the free-spirited essence of the 1970s. The collection features fabrics such as scalloped crochet laces, French corded laces, and luxurious 100% silk. Each design undergoes meticulous scrutiny for fit, often going through as many as seven revisions before it receives the green light for production.
Designer Brittany Castaños, dubbed the "Strong-Willed Child," was raised by former hippies in California. Thirteen years ago, driven by a desire to challenge the antiquated views of the "Virgin Bride," Castaños founded Daughters Of Simone. What started with 1970s wedding gowns discovered in local thrift shops, modeled by friends and family in her backyard, has now blossomed into nine full production collections launched annually at New York Bridal Week. Castaños’s background in Cultural Anthropology inspires her collections, seeking to use them to highlight stories of women who often go untold and go unseen. Brittany, an American of Swedish and Mexican heritage, has a five-year-old son, Jude, and a four-month-old son, August, and lives with her partner in Fresno, California.
