Manuela came to me with a special request: a unique and special dress that would fully represent her.
So we met and talked, trying to create together a dress that would encapsulate everything she imagined and dreamed of.
We created a sketch that could incorporate all the elements she wanted: a wide tulle skirt, semi-sheer, voluminous sleeves, and embroidery that spoke of their love.
We chose fabrics together to make the sketch a reality, creating a play of transparencies that would give her an ethereal image but at the same time make her feel comfortable.
The embroidery you can see on the sleeve is the result of research following the initial chat.
In fact, from the very beginning, I wondered how to be able to incorporate into the dress the love that would be celebrated that day, a strong and carefree love! So we opted to create a fine, tone-on-tone design on the right sleeve representing a climbing ivy. We chose this plant because of the symbolism historically given to it, making it a symbol of fidelity, continuity and union. But also of eternity, passion and good fortune. For this reason we felt it was the perfect symbol to discreetly add to the garment.
One last detail was inserted inside the embroidered sleeve by adding inside one of the leaves their interwoven initials, this became a small detail to be discovered in the dress.
