Introducing the Bo & Luca Spring/Summer 2020 collection. Aptly named ‘Ophelia’s Memoir’, the collection is an ode to a timeless heroine.
‘Ophelia’s Memoir’ celebrates the artistry and perfect imperfection of hand-beading on sensual silks and chiffon. In a world of fast fashion and machine made pieces, the brand have stayed true to their roots, lovingly hand-dying each piece in loose-leaf white tea before hand-beading the gowns using the ancient Indian art of Tambour.
Along with her team, Bo & Luca Creative Director, Shannon Pittman has delved into newfound creative realms with a more alluring and sensual approach to the bohemian style which first landed her brand on the bridal map.
The delicately hand beaded gowns in this collection are a touch of whimsy and alluring refinement with silhouettes that softly fall over the body; easy to wear and non-constricting. Forget volume or layers of tulle, these gowns make a statement with each hand-beaded design that has been woven over diaphanous, sheer silks and delicate fabrics.
A strong 70s influence is evident with billowy, voluminous sleeves, pussy bow necklines and tasseled trimmings, while daringly low open backs are balanced out by long sleeves and demure Victoriana necklines to keep the looks elegant and refined.
Here are One Fine Day’s top picks from the beautiful Bo & Luca collection.
