ATELIER PRONOVIAS 2018 COLLECTION
The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection is defined by the concept of a wish. Taking inspiration from dreams
and desires, with water as the main element, this collection highlights the magical movement of waves, the fluidity
of currents and the sparkle of water droplets in exquisite models designed to enhance the bride’s femininity.
Thread embroidery, the star of this collection, is a testament to the atelier’s firm commitment to a thoughtful
combination of materials and fabrics. Silk gauze, organza and Mikado add volume, while crepe and soft satin
outline the bride’s figure, which is set off by the French lace that is a hallmark of the atelier’s dresses.
The new looks are a fresh take on volume, a highlight in this collection, with innovative designs that lighten up
patterns and reinvent silhouettes such as the flared line, designed to emphasize the bride’s curves and bring
more movement and fluidity to the skirt. The envelope was pushed this season to give brides endless possibilities
to play up their figures.
This year’s brides will sparkle more than ever with white gemstone embroidery that gives the collection a very
sophisticated touch. Sensational jeweled dresses add a special glimmer to the designs and are combined with
sleeve and neckline appliqués, creating a magical effect reminiscent of falling water, another distinguishing
feature this season.
