Lazaro Perez, widely respected and admired designer of elegant, fashion forward bridal gowns, has returned to the forefront of bridal and wedding fashions with new collections for Spring 2026 as a new division of Ashdon Brands.
Lazaro resumes his design career after leaving JLM Couture, and is now designing new limited collections of gowns entitled Blanc de Perez and Maison Perez.
Other Ashdon brands include Yumi Couture, Victor Harper, and Ashley and Justin Bride.
“There’s nothing quite like bridal," explained Lazaro. "I’m beyond thrilled to be back, doing what I love to do most. The magic of creating the drama, the romance, that unforgettable."
Lazaro has created two collections for this season, both available on an exclusive basis: Blanc de Perez with a retail price point of $2,000-5,000; and Maison Perez, with a higher price point of $4000-8,000.
Nick Yeh, CEO of Ashdon Brands, pursued Lazaro once available recognizing his unique talents and respect in the industry.
"He is one of the greatest designers I have seen in my life," explained Yeh, "and a wonderful human being. I am honored to work with him and to provide the flexibility and encouragement and creative reign to make the dresses he is known for as well as creating those more fashion forward Lazaro pieces."
A limited selection of both collections will be previewed at upcoming Markets.
