Bridal Bliss: Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week
The 22nd annual Bridal Fashion Week took place in Barcelona. Gorgeous wedding gowns, suits for grooms, enchanting jewelry and other stunning bridal accessories were at the heart of this luxurious event. FashionTV was at the front row, and now we invite you to experience a bride’s dream come true.
One of the most critical questions before every wedding is, “what will the bride wear?” Top designers are putting their best efforts forward in order to create the perfect dress for this perfect day. Once a year, those top designers travel to Barcelona in order to reveal their new bridal collections. Jewelry, platform shoes, hair designs, and a plethora of white gowns were the center of attention at this Bridal Fashion Week 2012.
Barcelona Bridal Week is a three day event of wedding bliss. Both Spanish and international fashion designers are invited to reveal their new bridal collections, in an event that draws worldwide attention.
The Gaudi fashion show was one of Bridal Fashion Week’s highlights. During the show, top designer Elie Saab revealed his most recent bridal collection for the brand Pronovias. Former Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova and top Israeli model Bar Refaeli were two of the models that lit up Saab’s catwalk. Kurkova, Refaeli, and the rest of the stunning models on the runway presented Saab’s romantic and sophisticated gowns. Saab’s bridal collection featured brilliant fashion creations with majestic volumes and impeccable finishings.
Rosa Clara’s fashion show was a great opportunity to see how a talented designer can push the limits of gender definitions. Clara chose androgynous male model Andrej Pejic to open her bridal fashion show. The twenty-year-old model wore an ethereal white wedding gown, with a thin ribbon under the bust, and a layered skirt which revealed his beautiful white platform shoes.
Throughout the show, Pejic modeled another wedding dress. This time it was a floor-length textured gown. Although he wasn’t the only model on the runway, he definitely stole the show.
Rosa Clara’s runway show wasn’t the first time Pejic put on a wedding dress. The last time he donned a bridal gown was during the Jean-Paul Gaultier spring couture show. Pejic went on stage wearing a white feathered dress, which almost left no room for imagination…
The 22nd annual Bridal Fashion Week offered up a great chance for national young fashion designers to showcase their collections.

Why Men Don’t Like Menswear
If you’re a man reading this...would you prefer the following: 1) to watch a menswear show 2) to watch a lingerie show?
While we’re sure some of you picked the first one- there are a few who enjoy seeing what’s out there in the men’s fashion world. We know most of you picked the second and would rather not think about brand names or aquamarine pants- Burberry anyone?
Burberry Spring 2013The fashion experts at FashionTV have come to a striking conclusion. F Men shows are more likely to be watched by women than men, the ones who are supposed to wear the clothes.
We’ve come up with a few reasons why:
1. Men are Cheap
While a woman will go out of her way in order to look good and spend thousands of dollars a year on high-end brands in order to look up-to-date, men are known for being more practical spenders- after all jeans are jeans whether they are Armani or H&M.
2. Men are Vintage
Men simply don't throw things away! Old T-shirts, old boots, sweatshirts, pants, socks -- you name it and you’ll find the guy that has it in his closet for over 10 years. Its not vintage if its ugly... but there are some things in life that just don't change.
Watch and learn!3. Men Have Bad Taste
Men have bad taste and they know it! Not the men reading this article of course, but all the other men!! Most men will wear just about anything if someone tells them it looks good and it doesn't matter who.
4. Women buy them clothes
Its no secret that for a lot of men out there, its actually the women who buy them clothes and if not on their own then by just chaperoning them when they do their shopping and eventually making all the decisions.
Would your man wear these clothes?So do men like Mens Fashion?
