Romantic ruffles
Ruffles can be seen in many wedding dresses this summer. They sway romantic in step of your walk to the alter. Choose them if you want to look very feminine.

Size matters
Pleated fabrics create models with incredible volume. A huge flower can be placed on the shoulder or the waist. Some dresses can be worn with an elegant hat with a large brim.

Back is the new face
Many designers make an accent in the back of the bride. A bare back dress is very sexy, especially with a big flower on the waist. Asymmetric length and necklines are preferred by designers, shoulder-straps and sleeves are back in fashion.

Light fabrics
In the hot days it is very important that you feel comfortable in your clothes. The sheer fabrics dominate - tulle, lace and chiffon. Chiffon is very suitable for a wedding on the sea coast.

Color details
In fashion this season are color accent in rouge, champagne, gray and coffee. Color floral details can make the simplest white dress very original. Satin stripes that underline waist can also be in contrast of the main color.

Wedding shoes
Pointed shoes are very fashionable this summer and match well with a knee-length dress. Open heel shoes with a tender strap in the 50s style are also a good choice. Swarovski crystals traditionally embellish not only the dresses, but also the shoes.

Versace For Men AUTUMN/WINTER 2011-12: three-dimensional

This season’s Versace collection for men presents an optical game of shapes, proportions, colours and graphics, conducted with a knowing and contemporary nod.

This is not, however, a look that sparkles and shines. Instead the luxurious aspect of the collection – such a hallmark of the Versace brand – comes from the fine fabrics used and the expert tailoring employed.

The foundation of the collection comprises highly sartorial elements, with garments that have a new volume and are less rigid and softer than previously. Notably, the shoulder line of jackets and coats is markedly relaxed, and detailing has been simplified without betraying the Maison’s DNA.

Proportions are playfully reworked with sophistication and wit – short and long combine. Lengths of jackets are extended and waistlines are dropped. The result is a cool, contemporary take on Versace codes.

The knitwear is essential to the spirit of the collection, and the combination of textures and colours in the knits creates a modern 3D effect. This is also the result of the special processes applied to the threads. Embroidered leather coats and astrakhan necks of the coats also posses a three-dimensional aspect.

Colours include electric blue, camel, red, purple and flashes of hot pink. Suits explore a full range of grey shades.

Fabrics and textures are extremely luxurious: wool and cashmere are key.

Accessories complete the look: the shoes have a modern and pointed shape, with contemporary details, such as rubber soles, that emphasize their lines.

Desislava Pancheva: One successful Bulgarian Model in Milan

Desislava Pancheva was born on 14th March 1982 in Pleven. In 2000 she finished a Professional School in textile and clothes with the specialty of Constructing and Modeling of Clothes. After 2 unsuccessful tries to enter the university and study pharmacy, a disappointment and a love affair, she decided to try in the sphere of Industrial design in the Polytechnic university in Milan. After one-week intensive course on Italian, many documents and emotions she left to Milan to take her entrance examination. She took a huge risk, because the entrance examination (written and spoken) is the same for the foreigners and Italians and there were only 30 free places for foreigners.

In the process of her education she worked on her specialty, developing campaigns for huge brands like "Borsalino", "Etro", "Salvatore Ferragamo", "Hermes", "Culti" etc. She had the opportunity to touch the world of the big names. During her education she was a translator at fashion exhibitions and a model. Her first job was being a model of bridal dresses. She had many proposals from photographers and small fashion agencies to make test photos.

She decided to look in the “kitchen” of fashion, not only as an Industrial designer. So, she decided to devote a part of her free time on modeling, helping in this way her finances. In 2005 she had the opportunity to work on Bulgarian land, she took part in the calendar for the company “Lubrica” being a stylist and a model. Desislava created the conception of the calendar. The photographer was Nikola Borisov.

In 2006 Desislava finished with her education in the university and clashed with the raw truth that to find a good job it's not enough only to be a good professional, there is also a need to have many contacts to enter in fashion industry. Therefore she decided to continue to work as a model. And the same year the proposals became to arrive. She shot pictures for commercial campaigns for famous coiffures like Extrema Hair of Rudy Mostarda, including printing commercials and video, shown on FTV, presentations and catwalks for Ferre, Exte, Shiro, Patrizia Pape, Escada etc. Meanwhile she got acquainted with the Italian photographer Luca Patrone. He appreciated her artistic creativity in the sphere of design and together they decided to create a set of pictures and commercial materials for elite Italian clubs. In the same year Desislava by chance got into one of the huge fashion agencies in Milan "Major Model Managament", which proposed her a contract. They began with test photos and castings. One of her first tests, which she shot was with the French photographer for the Valentina's comics, which brought her the first big success – a place in the united campaign of the Italian beer magnate "Peroni, Nastro Azzurro". The campaign included a calendar, a short movie and a TV commercial, shown in more than 10 countries all over the world.

Desi took part also in commercial campaigns and catwalks for the Italian designers Pietro Paradiso, Paolo Seminara, in catwalks and pictures of Mariella Burani, Jaguar lecoultre, the hair brands Indola, Loreal and coiffures Gehring, Camargo, kampannia Papeete, Ampolina, Free Voogue, Dermaclinicue. She shot TV commercials for Gazzetta dello sport, Italia and Fontecta, Finlandia. Photos of her have made some of the best in fashion photography - Gian Paolo Barbieri, Enrico Labriola, Joseph Cardo, Denis Bockenheimer, Jill Paider, Nick Klements, Carlo Battillocchi etc. She has covers and campaigns in fashion magazines like Burda (Italia, Germany), Women (Italia), Montebianco (Italy), Maglia (Italy), Shape (South Africa), Vogue (Italy), Max (Bulgaria), GQ (South Africa, UK), ELLE (South Africa), Glamour (Italy), City Magazine (Hong Kong), Estetica (Spain, Italy), AMagazine (Nitherlands), Imago (Italy)....
