The president of the Cabildo attends the last day of 'Birdal Collection, Gran Canaria Moda Cálida' and encourages citizens to “go to the workshops of local designers and bet on craftsmanship and excellence”
The Bridal Collection catwalk, Gran Canaria Moda Cálida closed last night after another successful day at the Hotel Santa Catalina in which the designs of Pedro Juan and Diazar Atelier shined, guests of Isla Bonita Moda from La Palma, the tailoring shop inspired by a starry night by Lucas Balboa and the tribute to the evolution of the bride who wants to dress by the author of Palmas in the 'Esencia' collection.
Three full days that have included influencers from the sector among the attending public and today, with the presence of the president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, who wanted to congratulate all the participating designers and firms for a work that, according to him, “ "It once again demonstrates the commitment to excellence and attention to detail that characterizes them."
The president also celebrated the success of the public "because these events and the fashion support program ultimately seek to diversify the economy and general local employment", although he wanted to continue encouraging citizens "to bet on the workshops of these creators to work face to face with them on any wedding or ceremony occasion and have a unique piece, made on earth.”
But returning to the catwalk, the lights turned on a little earlier today, at 18:00 p.m., for the staging of the Isla Bonita Moda brand Pedro Juan, who presented 'Zarabanda', a collection inspired by the Pontifical Basilica of San Miguel, in the heart of Madrid de los Austrias - a beautiful unknown jewel of the Spanish baroque. And in the musical piece Sarabande by Handel. Gold, off-white, beige and nude dance perfectly with each other accompanied by touches of slate gray, and the delicacy of the pieces is present in the fabrics, shapes and colors.
Immediately afterwards, designer Jonathan Díaz, head of the Diazar brand - also from La Palma - presented 'Ámitys' inspired by Queen Amitys and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, composed of ethereal silhouettes with flowing dresses, dynamic folds and draped details. Vegetable embroidery and intricate patterns evoke the architecture of these gardens while the color palette reflects exotic flora, the blue of the water and bright sparkles.
In addition, ethnic evocative accessories typical of traditional craftsmanship are fused with innovative concepts, as well as designer accessories by Sara Luis, Lepa Punça and Julia Brito that provide added value. Zaira Rodso's footwear, conceptualized for the occasion, closes the composition of the total look perfectly.
After these shows, the Minister of Commerce of La Palma, Miriam Perestelo, wanted to “thank Gran Canaria Moda Cálida for the welcome” and celebrate the “opportunity” for Palma designers to participate in Bridal. “If we continue joining efforts between all the island labels we can achieve great objectives for the Archipelago,” she stated.
And turn for two of the established brands of the Moda Cálida program, such as Lucas Balboa and Pedro Palmas. The first presented 'Starry Night', a revised tailoring in cuts and patterns with fitted jackets, slightly 'oversize' and bullfighters. Pants in just the right size and straight cut pants. Much higher waist and darts. Transparent veil shirts with vests that seem to fly and as a common denominator, the stars, throughout the collection.
Palmas dazzled with Esencia, a collection that responds to that concept that alludes to “the nature of things, permanent and invariable, the most important and characteristic of something.” It thus refers to femininity in clothing, since the proposal stages the evolution towards modernity in brides, opening a window towards another concept with new proposals and forms, entering brides who seek personal clothing and, above all, with creations. From author. Classic fabrics such as Mikados, silks, and laces adapt “to the peculiar sign of each bride that defines her and allows her to differentiate herself.”
