[San Juan Moda] Day 6: Miriam Budet, Sonia Rivera + Jaer Caban

miriam

The always unpredictable Miriam Budet presented a minimalistic and highly impressive collection calle “Mar de Cristal”. Beautiful silhouettes and body conscious designs that flatter every body shape graced the catwalk. Emerald tones, shades of blue an ocean inspired colors complimented the collection. Dresses with texture that replicated ocean waves, sweaters and jackets with detailing that were similar to coral reefs were essential in her collection.

The always elegant Sonia Rivera and her collection “Reine Noire” presented a beautifully goth inspired 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.

jaer

Designer Jaer Caban and his collection ‘Canvas’ was as unique as usual. The designer playful and colorful designs were a delight. As always the designer and his avant garde take to aesthetics is what pushed his collection to the edge of perfection; paint splattered hands and accessories were out of the box and refreshing. The young designer has a promising and decadent career ahead of him, I can’t wait to see what he presents next season.

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.
