Rosa Clara
The ROSA CLARÁ GROUP conveys hope and creates a magical environment wrapped up in beauty, elegance and unique style. Rosa Clará has always been in the fashion sector. However, at the beginning of the 90s, she realised that many women were deeply dissatisfied with what was available in the wedding market. There was a new profile of bride: women who had become established in the world of employment and had great fashion sensibility and flair. These brides wanted to get married in a special gown that made them feel unique and wanted their gowns to reflect their unique personalities. They wanted a dress with ‘magic’ that dazzled their partners and made them feel stunning and spectacular.

Cymbeline
Mixing the traditional with modern, the sisters knew how to adapt the traditional methods of “haute couture” into modern designs: new techniques using the latest fabrics allowed for the corset designs to be comfortable and supportive, the computerized pattern cutting systems allowed them to obtain a great precision of lines cut. But nothing replaced the delicacy of an expert hand for the finesse of the dress. Working in the French couture style, they are well known for the fine details that make each dress a distinctive piece of art.

Princess Grace when she married Prince Rainier III on April 19th 1956 in Monaco
Grace Kelly’s wedding gown was designed by Helen Rose, it was the most expensive dress that Rose had ever made. The dress itself consisted of a rounded collar, full skirt of ivory peau de soie (a smooth shiny fabric), and a fitted bodice made from Brussels lace embroidered with seed pearls. The lace was over a century old and had flower designs in it. 25 yards of silk taffeta and 100 yards of silk net were used in the construction of the dress. Under her wedding gown, Grace’s petticoats had tiny blue satin bows.

Naeem Khan is an Indian-American fashion designer known for his ornate and intricately detailed gowns.
“When designing the J. Mendel bridal collection, I find the inspiration flows freely. Sometimes I will reinterpret a specific gown from my runway collection as a bridal gown; other times they evolve completely of their own accord. Ultimately, I see every J. Mendel bridal gown as a unique creation. As soon as it’s selected by a bride, it takes on a life all of its own.” -Gilles Mendel
