It was such a unique show that we saw the traditional bride in ethereal and elegant designs, showcasing her  romantic sensibility. The modern bride that is current to the times and not afraid to push the boundaries with fashionable and contemporary style and the avant-garde woman that doesn’t bound herself to the traditional gown and has a much more edgy approach to her bridal trousseau.

Marcos Carrazana A/W ’16: ‘Rated R’

Its always a delight to see a Designer develop and grow through the seasons, Marcos Carrazana and his collection ‘Rated R‘, did precisely that. The designer played with the rough and soft elements of the season, luxurious velvets, leather, meshed lace, delicate fringe were a sight for sore eyes.

‘Lilly’ by Diana Vazquez was as delicate and feminine as usual, the designer used her usual elements, but integrated the functionality and sassiness of the modern young woman. Her unique elegance and particular way of harmonizing elements gave this collection a fresh feel.

Agatha Ruiz De La Prada A/W ’16: “Colores”.

The second night of San Juan Moda was as memorable as ever, the evening had the intentions of being a memorable one. The evening began with International Designer, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada presented her A/W ’16 collection: “Colores”. She showcased her infamous colorful and fun style, with playful dresses and her lively accessories which she is well known for. It was exciting to see De La Prada present on the island again, after a ten year absence on the local runways; it was definitely worth the wait.

As an intermission, Maybelline Puerto Rico (official sponsor of San Juan Moda) presented makeup trends for the season. Clean smooth skin with intense eyes and dark lips are the recurring theme of the season. Ultra goth chic, would be the perfect description of the trends and I am loving them!

The last Designer of the evening was, Lisa Capalli with her collection: ‘Meet Me At Midnight’. The sensuality of the female fluidity was the focus of this collection. The designer has always known for her lace, brocade and sequins. Her showcase was a stunner from head to toe, hair and makeup were a beautiful mash up of day and night. For the woman that is as diverse and unique as her designs.
