The Catalan capital begins to dress in white with the arrival of Barcelona Fashion Week, which has its best showcase at the Gaudí Brides Catwalk, and which yesterday had as an appetizer the rehearsals and the latest tests that the big firms have done on the models emblematic of its collections.
Rosa Clará, who today Tuesday afternoon, May 10, opens this fashion event with a parade to which almost all the candidates for mayor of Barcelona have confirmed their presence, has prepared a very white collection, with some golden touches, and with three very marked lines designed to make all brides wonderful.
The model Ekkaterina Strigyna, recently married, under the gaze of the former model and fashion expert Amanada Hearst, has tried on one of the 40 dresses that will be seen at the Catalan designer’s workshop in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona). catwalk, almost half of the collection that has been prepared for next season and that from September will be in the 106 establishments that the Rosa Clará brand has all over the world.
The novelty of this season is called Minimal, a line that pays homage to minimalism, defined by sober suits with wide skirts with great movement made of tulle and silk knit or satin knit, to give the skirt a lot of drape and little volume, which are combined with very simple bodies inspired by T-shirts and silk knit bodies with asymmetrical necklines or bare backs.
This line was born, according to Clara, for brides who get married on the beach and cannot find anything on the market, something simple that confirms that “less is more”, some dresses that the Catalan designer has defined as “innovative in the world of bride”.
A second line that she has called Soft is made up of dresses that combine white and nude color, made of draped silk voile that adhere to the body highlighting the femininity of the figure. The most classic dresses but reinterpreted for the 21st century, with high or low waists, bare bodices, very marked waists and full-volume skirts that combine spectacular Chantilly lace with silk organza, very Grace Kelly air, are the ones that are in the Volume line.
