Elizabeth Amor

Bellisma Collection was for spring and summer 2017. The collection created for a bride and her party who are ready to look for customized and beautiful dresses for the wedding. She is age 21-40 and Is ready to spend anywhere from $1,000-3,000on her wedding dress. The place of internship was highly considered in order to tie in JINZA couture, a bridal boutique in San Francisco to the wedding dresses I created.  JINZA is a designer that creates custom wedding dresses for her clients. She ties in her unique feminine detailing with classic styles that result into timeless pieces.  Her philosophy is comfortable and fancy. As I created this collection I took her design aesthetics along with my passion for Spanish culture.  I created a collection that would be customized and colorful with traditional aspects. My first inspiration came from the folkloric style of dancing and the movement needed for when they dance creates this huge colorful waves of fabric flowing. Along with this, the symbolic fan they used when dancing was incorporated when I chose a blush crinkled chiffon that creates pleats that are similar to the dancing fan.   This collection is made of ivory Douches satin with pops of silk touch satin in crimson red that directly inspired by the “Muleta” cape that the bullfighter uses during their fights tying in their passion for bullfighting in a back panel of a wedding dress. The striking “plaza de Espana Seville” is made of detailed arches that I incorporated in detailing of the lace to create scallops just like the architecture in the plaza. Some ideas were taken from trends in using a halter neckline from Marchese’s collection.   Along with sheer fabrics from Dior’s Fall 2017 collection. Overall Bellisima was meant for the bride who loves color and wants to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day she loves to dance and wants eyes to be drawn to her, it exquisitely demonstrates her body and she feels comfortable in her dress.
