7) What are the fabrics and details you like to work in?
Variety in fabrication and mixing of contrasting elements- an added unexpected detail. That’s a signature of Besa Bridal. I love the idea of non-traditional bridal fabrics and that’s something I am exploring in future collections, plus we are adding eco-friendly fabric options as well, so stay tuned!
8) What is your design process?
My design process varies. Sometimes I start experimenting with details. Sometimes, fabrics lead me to the idea. Then, with rough sketches, I drape to develop my idea. Draping is critical in achieving a successful design. It is the most enjoyable part of the process as my vision starts to become a reality.
My design process continues in the fitting. I try to have a keen eye to get flattering proportions and silhouettes.
9) If these are non-traditional pieces, what type of venues are your brides marrying at?
It should be anyplace that has meaning for the soon-to-be newlyweds. From a favorite restaurant to a garden – or to a summer house - or to a rooftop - or farmhouse - or a faraway destination. The venue will feel right to the couple and options are endless. Besa Bride can be worn for any event, bridal shower or rehearsal dinner – I would also not rule out the bridesmaids.
10) What would you say will be your house specialty?
My hope is that Besa and Besa Brides will become known for pieces that are resonating with the right client and the right piece. Exceptionally chic, comfortable, and well made .... Each bride should be beyond happy, then I will be. – that is our signature.
