This ‘100 Years of Wedding Dresses’ video ends with a twist

Picking up on this, Mode began creating similar videos with a fashion spin. To date, they’ve profiles women’s fashion, men’s fashion, lingerie and men’s swimwear, but it’s their latest video that has really had people talking.

“100 Years of Wedding Dresses” begins in the same way as all the other videos. A model in underwear stands in the centre of the shot as hair, makeup and wardrobe people transform her into looks from the last ten decades. But more than the looks, the last scene after the 2015 dress is revealed is what makes this video most notable.

At the very end of the video, the bride is joined by a groom – and she is a woman. Hand-in-hand they walk off screen as the quote “Love is always in fashion…” appears on the screen. This video is not only a testament to the changing trends in fashion but also to the changing times.
