TEXT, VIVIAN G. KELLY-VAN ZUTPHEN
TIME:
New York Bridal Week, April, 2010, Sunday morning
PLACE: The Crown Building, 550 Fifth Avenue showroom, for the spring 2011 collection preview
WHAT: a simply [literally] beautiful collection of 18 gowns inspired by Shangri-La
IT'S IN THE DETAILS
As always, remember that Reem is NOT just a bridal designer, but a very talented ready-to-wear designer. That being said, we've come to expect RTW trends to slip into her bridal designs.
This season's significant details:
-Youthful floral sexy lingerie
-Strapless with corset detailing [as in the Reem Acra RTW collection]
-The mixing of fabrics, resulting in an eye-catching 3-D effect
#17 is especially on trend w/ the RTW. There was crystal detailing, flowers, ruffles and embroidery. None of these were done with a heavy hand and in no way could be described as "bling".
Our favorite= the simplest #11, the "I am Sexy" hand draped gown, in ivory satin face chiffon.
Reem graciously posed with her beloved LULU and a model dressed in the finale gown, aptly named, "I Am The One And Only".
WHERE TO BUY & PRICING
The median price or "Sweetpoint" = $4,000 -7,000
To Shop: Reem Acra, New York, Saks Fifth Avenue, Beverly Hills, Kleinfelds, NYC
411 ALERT: Reem is rolling out 10 stores this year, making her gorgeous more readily available to the bride who only wants the best.
