Rosa Clara 2013 is a bounty of inspiration for brides looking to make a big impact with their gown next year. In this collection Rosa Clara harks back to the age-old ‘Happily ever after’ storyline some of us can’t help but think of when we imagine our big day. However this cupcake doll-like (remember them?!), over-the-top, sometimes theatrical princess style is brought back from a faraway land with structure and simplicity a modern day Jackie O would be proud to sport.
Don’t get us wrong, bows, laces and tulle feature heavily in Rosa Clara 2013, but it’s all done with a minimalist eye. Oh-so-cute cover-ups come as neat diamante buttoned cropped jackets and sleek gauze or lace sleeves, while a feminine silhouette is cut with oversized block belts.
