[San Juan Moda] Day 8: Ruben Dario, Lisa Thon + Eddie Guerrero

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.

Lisa Thon and her collection ‘Fly Me Away‘ was fun, luxurious and totally jazzy. The designer completely blew us away with her ingenious styling and luscious prints and details. Portrays the contemporary woman that loves to look stylish, chic and put together. Her looks were flawless and easy to carry; any woman of any size would love to be able to flaunt her femininity in these modern sequined bomber jackets and beautiful metallic vest with beaded fringes.

The last of the evening is the always unforgettable Eddie Guerrero with his collection ‘Paradigma’. 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.

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.
