Alyce Hamm Wedding Dresses

In 1955, Alyce Hamm came from France to the United States. A native of Alsace-Lorraine, she received her training in Parisian couture at the esteemed Paris Ecole de Couture. When she and her brother, Jean-Paul Hamm, opened Alyce Designs in 1967, it was their dream to achieve international success.

It was not long before Alyce Designs became nationally renowned for its prom, bridal and special occasion designs, and women worldwide began wearing the company's creations. Today, smart shoppers can purchase Alyce Designs online at New York Dress.

Headquartered in Morton Grove, IL, Alyce Designs are distributed around the globe, and sold in exclusive boutiques and stores specializing in bridal and prom dresses. Although in semi-retirement, after thirty years in the business, Ms. Hamm is remembered for the dozens of industry awards she has received, and the sophisticated French tailoring she brought to her trend-setting gowns.

These days, Alyce Hamm can be found travelling to the four corners of the earth. Although her brother is still head of the company, he will soon turn the reins over to his daughter, Claudine Hamm, Creative Director and Principle Designer, and his niece, Nathalie Hamm, Senior Designer.

Alyce Designs have been famously worn in movies. Meg Ryan wore an Alyce gown in "When Harry Met Sally," and Denis Richard in "Drop Dead Gorgeous." Beauty queens such as Miss USA, Miss France, and Miss Universe have graced the runways in Alyce designs.
