On the closing night of the official fashion week of the island: San Juan Moda. The most reputable designers presented their Autumn/Winter ’16 proposals. We were graced by the designs of Ruben Dario, Lisa Thon and Eddie Guerrero.

The night commenced with the collection “L’hymne a L’amour” by Ruben Dario. A romantic proposal of elegance and graceful designs. With form flattering A line skirts,  sheer silks and taffetas, deep plunging necklines and beautifully refined prints. The simplicity of this collection left us wanting more.

This eclectic collection presented tailored menswear and a diverse style of womenswear with houndstooth detailing. The designer embraced the more comercial side of his usually edgy style of design. But his trademark gothic style could still be felt in his collection.

Figure flattering silhouettes and sensual corsets are a signature staple of the designer and it wasn’t surprising that the focus of the collection were around those elements. The closing of the show was breathtaking as she sent a model down the catwalk in a cape that covered her dress and face that left us to eager to imagine what was under it. The Model took off the cape and graces a beautifully adorned white and silver dress with elegantly beaded fringe; daring femininity in full splendor.
