2018-09-20

Seventeen brands will make the last bridal and ceremony trends known in the Bridal Collection fashion show of Gran Canaria Moda Cálida, an appointment organized by the Cabildo to display the creations of the designers and the islander companies. This year it will take place at the magnificent setting of the Salón Dorado of the Gabinete Literario.

Dresses for brides and grooms, ceremonies, prêt-à-porter, and communion, with a wide range of colours, tissues, styles and inspirations, will parade on the catwalk from 27 to 29 September with the aim of dazzling the adult and child audience and offering the possibility to choose fashion for a special occasion that is made in the Islands.

During the presentation of the initiative, the Councillor of Industry and Commerce of the Cabildo, Minerva Alonso, detailed that Bridal showed integrated brands of Gran Canaria Moda Cálida, both the consolidated ones and the new talents, along with four brands of Isla Bonita Moda, one of Tenerife Moda, another of Lanzarote and the proposals of El Corte Inglés.

Alonso also explained that designer Juan Roga would be one the main designers of that edition and the one in charge of opening the event to celebrate his 35th anniversary in the profession. He was one of the first creators that joined to the Gran Canaria Moda Cálida programme 20 years ago and he has been three years without presenting collections in the Island, so Bridal show means his return to the front line of fashion.

Roga explained he would make known the ‘Ópera Prima’ collection, with that name he wanted to transfer the idea that, despite being more than three decades in that profession, each creation was like the first one.

The celebration of Roga’s anniversary will give way to fashion show of the rest of the brands during the weekend. Thus, the collection, ‘Las mujeres que cambiaron el mundo’, of the Tenerife brand Culito From Spain will be charged of opening the second day, followed by Oswaldo Machín that brings his designs from Lanzarote. Palmas will close with ‘Champagne Rose’, a collection that makes a journey through the most emblematic designs of his career.

Thirteen brands will display their proposals of ceremonies and weddings for all the family this Saturday. The first one will be El Corte Inglés, then It Child will make known its children’s prêt-à-porter collection, wedding procession and communion dresses, while MiMenina goes up to the catwalk with the ‘Like A Breath Of Fresh Air’ (‘Como Agua de Mayo’) to show colourful ceremony dresses and also communion dresses of children.

The new talents of Gran Canaria Moda Cálida are part of a wide programme that is scheduled for Saturday. Vidina Romero presents ‘Sweet Nights’, while Lléo displays ‘Pallazzo Lléo’ that is inspired by the nineties. By his part, Aday Batista will display with ‘Quizás, Quizás, Quizás’ his steamy dresses, and Beltho Culture will do the same with ‘Citta D’acqua’, inspired by Venice.

In addition, four brands of La Palma will bring their proposals the last day to the Gabinete Literario. Waleska, for example, proposes ‘Stella’, with creations that reflect the stars and the clean sky of ‘La Isla Bonita’. GMbyJe was inspired by the magic of the Salinas de Fuencaliente. Pomeline, with ‘Romance’, will show its rural-style bridal gowns that show off the traditional embroideries of La Palma. And finally Diazar will move the audience to Paris of the mid-19th century with the ‘Les Nuits de Bohème’ collection 

Lucas Balboa and Aurelia Gil of Gran Canaria will be charged of closing the fashion show. The first one will display ‘He was beautiful’, a wide range of suits, jackets, tuxedos and dress-coats for the groom and guests, while Gil will present ‘Bridal Collection 2019’, a union between a romantic bride and a modern style that will be completed with men’s designs of Roes brand.

In conclusion, it will be three days that show the current designs of the Canarian creators while the assistants will be able to remember the old private passes of the European ateliers in the heart of the Grancanarian capital. Alonso, who celebrated the incorporation of two new brands of recent creation, detailed that the aim with all of this was to generate economy and to make the designers known and thus people could acquire fashion that has been made in Gran Canaria and in the rest of the Archipelago.
