LEE PETRA GREBENAU
The darling of New York Bridal Fashion Week, Lee Petra 
Grebenau launched her own design house after growing up in 
the family textile business. Also graduating with honors from 
Shenkar Fashion Art Academy, Grebenau not only has an inti-
mate understanding of fabrics, but is known for her luxurious 
embroidery and embellishments. “I like to work with silk,” she 
told the Bridal Council. “Whether it’s chiffon, organza, satin 
or tulle, I love mixing textures of pearls, beads, crystals, floral 
embroidery and unique French lace. This is my reinterpreta-
tion of classics in modern bridal design.” Trunk Show Alert: 
June 25-26. Sposa Bella, Birmingham.

INBAL DROR
Another Shenkar graduate, 
Inbal Dror worked with 
the haute couture collec-
tions of Roberto Cavalli 
in Milan before returning 
to Israel to launch her 
own brand — which now 
has shops in New York, 
Paris and London, where 
she’s designed couture for 
the likes of Beyonce and 
Naomi Watts. Roma Sposa, 
Birmingham.
