FGI “Rising Star” Nominee Guillermo Pharis Returns to NYC for Bridal Fashion Week

Acclaimed emerging bridal designer and Fashion Group International – FGI “Rising Star” finalist nominee Guillermo Pharis is set to make his highly anticipated return to New York City this Fall for New York Bridal Fashion Week, where he will unveil 28 new designs from his Fall 2026 Collection.

After launching Guillermo Pharis Bridal in 2019, Pharis quickly rose to prominence for his elegant, timeless, and glamorous creations. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, located in NYC, Pharis built his foundation in New York City before expanding to the West Coast, where he established showrooms in Los Angeles and Denver, along with presenting on the runway globally. This October marks a meaningful return to the city that shaped his creative vision.

I lived 15 years in New York, The city became part of my identity. It shaped my career and my perspective to approach life. Coming to New York Bridal Week and expanding to new retail partners feels right, it is like being home for the holidays.
