FashionBride’s Interviews: Cocoe Voci
Advertisements
A wedding gown is more than a simple fashion statement, it’s that special item that will be associated with one of the most beautiful days of your life. That’s why designers like Cocoe Voci are so special – even she loves her wedding gown more than any other! How do we know that? Well we made a wonderful interview with her and found out all about her style and work. To learn more keep on reading and don’t forget to check her website afterwards.
1. When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
I have always been a designer. As a young child, I was drawn to beautiful colors, textures, spaces and objects. I experimented with the making of tiny clothes for my dolls and sketched fanciful dresses for hours on end. I was introduced to bridal at 16 when I was hired by a local bridal salon. I sold, organized, steamed gowns and soon began helping the store owner with the making of bridal accessories and beadwork. I fell in love with bridal fashion.2. Talk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time? Are your designs different from the very beginning?
I opened my first bridal boutique when I was in my early twenties. I actually did not prepare much to do this so I found myself with a space in West Hollywood without any product. I bought some merchandise sight unseen so that the store would not be empty. When I received the product, I was disappointed with the designs and fit. I quickly cut and altered the shapes to be more attractive. I sold off the merchandise and found that my forte was creating custom, one-of-a-kind gowns for my clients. It was fun, creative, inspiring and challenging. What has changed in time is that along with my one-of-a-kind pieces, I create collections that can be represented by other quality salons around the world. I believe my designs continually evolve and the fit and workmanship continues to blossom.3. Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?
A bride that wants to experience luxury, elegance, timeless grace and quality workmanship for her monumental day should wear a COCOE VOCI design. That said, she should be cautious as to where she purchases her gown because there are countless counterfeiters that exist today. A bride should contact us directly through our web-site contact information to determine whether the salon or web-site is an authorized COCOE VOCI representative. For the record, we do not sell to any or through any on-line vendors. A COCOE VOCI gown is meant to have personal service and attention at a fine salon.4. Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
I am greatly inspired by literature, art and film. Textures for the mind. My latest body of work was inspired by the author Gabriel Garcia Marquez:“To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people that he could not understand why no one was disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, Why no one else’s heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, Why everyone did not go mad with the movement of her braid, The flight of her hands, The gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, Not one of the indications of her character, But he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell”
All the gowns I have created have special meaning. I hold dearly the memory of creating and wearing my own design for my wedding in 1998.6. From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
She should look graceful yet effortless because her fashion on her wedding day is a special expression of her inner self.7. And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
I can give her a truly special bridal gown and accessories that are finely handcrafted and not mass produced. My gowns are made at my Los Angeles atelier from luxe fabrics that I source from the finest textile houses and lace mills. We make the gown from start to finish here. The bride will not only look beautiful, she will feel beautiful.8. Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
As important as the specific gown you decide to wear on your wedding day is the designer and bridal salon you purchase from. The experience you will have as a bride from the moment you view your gown, the actual purchase to all of the fittings of your dress will be forever memorable. By working with great people and exquisite products, you will have a beautiful memory that you will truly cherish. -

When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
I started the Charlotte Balbier brand over 10 years ago and it’s grown hugely! It’s been a great success as we brought fresh designs to the industry! I come from a long line of bridal designers. My grandparents owned a chain of bridal stores. My mother is award winning bridal designer Amanda Wyatt! So as you can see, bridal is a family business!
Talk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time?
The interest in the Charlotte Balbier brand has spiraled upwards from starting the brand in the beginning. It is always hard work in the beginning but the brand has grown to be a great success! We have great relationships with stockists all around the country, journalists and we’re looking to expand into the US next year!
Are your designs different from the very beginning?
Of course! Trends, fashions and tastes change so we’ve altered our designs from the beginning. We like to always be the first to come out with new styles and stay on top of being the ‘most wanted’ bridal designer. We’ve tried to stay ahead by being really on trend for brides.
Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?
We create beautiful gowns that are fresh and modern for the independent lady! Our fabrics and fit is absolutely divine! We wanted to bring something new to the industry and to create gowns at very reasonable prices for a girl to feel like a Princess on her big day!!
Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
Many designers on the catwalk inspire me, I love haute couture and high fashion and you’ll see these inspirations trickle down into the Charlotte Balbier designs! I also meet many of my brides first-hand because I attend trunk-shows up and down the Country! I listen to all the feedback I receive on my designs!
From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
Of course she should look her best and absolutely stunning! But it’s important the bride feels comfortable on her big-day too! You must feel at ease in your gown to spend the day meeting and greeting your guests!
And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
When you buy a Charlotte Balbier dress you are not just purchasing a dress! Your coming into our Charlotte Balbier bubble and experiencing everything that comes with our brand. All our pink, gold and nude signature colours, lovely champagne events and you can often meet Charlotte Balbier in person too as she travels the Country doing events!
Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?

FashionBride’s Interviews: Amanda Wyatt
Advertisements
When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
I was born into the industry with both my parents being in bridal design, manufacturing and retail between the 1960’-1990’s. They had several bridal boutiques across the U.K and a manufacturing business that supplied independent boutiques both in the U.K and Internationally. We are a bit of a bridal family, my daughter has her own brand too called ‘Charlotte Balbier,’ she’s become a great success! I feel very privileged to have been brought up around dresses and fabrics all my life and carry on this family tradition!
Talk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time?
We grew Amanda Wyatt pretty fast because we brought something new to the industry! When we started the frou frou dresses were all the rage in the bridal world! We brought something more streamlined to the industry and we really hit the spot for brides and grew the brand!
Are your designs different from the very beginning?
Amanda Wyatt has been going for over 40 years so styles and designs have of course changed! During the Princess Diana era brides loved bigger dresses but it seems to be more reserved nowadays and brides like simplicity! Times and tastes certainly change in catwalk and high street fashions so it is no different to bridal!
Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs? Amanda Wyatt creates special designs and they are at great price-points! We also make statement dresses for brides to be remembered and talked about long after the wedding. The ‘Hetty’ dress from the latest Amanda Wyatt Collection has so many pretty little details on from the gold, silver sequin flower detailing. The clear lace outlining the chest is a lovely contrast. With pretty buttons detailing down the back of the dress it’s simply divine! The ‘Hetty’ is a knockout dress and great for pictures!
Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
I gain inspiration from my brides mostly! I meet brides first hand all the time at trunkshows! I love hearing the feedback on the gowns and fabrics. We love hearing what brides really want for their big days!
From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
A bride should feel like a Princess on her wedding day! She will really want to wow her guests when she is walking down the aisle. A brides needs to pick something that will be chatted about long after the wedding! That is what Amanda Wyatt is all about. We have stunning dresses with little details to add that bit extra!
And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
We give great quality dresses and they are at affordable price-point. We have been in the business for over 4 generations so we have all those years experience at creating gowns for brides. A lot longer than other designers on the market!
Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
The most important part of a wedding is to remember to have fun! You need to look your best on your wedding day and remember to enjoy it!

FashionBride’s Interviews: Papilio

1. When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting? alk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time? Are your designs different from the very beginning?
I’ve decided to become a designer since the very youth, because I grew up in the Soviet Union, where beautiful clothing was luxury that is why I had to sew a lot to be able to dress nicely. I was fascinated with fashion from early childhood, dressing up dolls. I draw well, graduated from art school, and later entered an art college. I used to work as a graphic designer and later together with my partner we decided to open the first wedding salon in our city, and then began my work as a designer of clothing. We created very unusual dresses at our studio which were distinguished by their originality and began to please our brides greatly. Being inspired with the reaction of our customers we decided to present collections in Moscow. The reaction was so rapturous and we received so many orders that we had realized the necessity to get on more serious level in the creation of collections and their wide replication as well.
2. Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?
The bride’s beauty that needs to be well framed is always the main purpose in creating wedding dresses for me. I always try to make a dress as lightweight as possible, tender, without rigid corsets and heavy skirts. A girl should not simply wear a dress, she must enjoy it, feeling herself incredibly elegant and attractive in it. Along with the classic silhouettes, I often use extraordinary designer solutions, which cause an abiding interest to our dresses. I often come across the images of our dresses in a variety of thematic weddings in the Internet.
3. Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
The main sources of inspiration for me are the materials. When you take into the hands excellent fabrics, laces, you begin to drape on the mannequin… Ideas and improbable inspiration to create something incredibly beautiful appear.
4. Have you got any piece you’ve created and that has a very special meaning for you? Can you describe it or can show us a picture?
It’s hard to single out something special, because usually there are many favorite dresses in every collection. I remember the dress that I made for my daughter (photos above). Another model, which is called “Rock crystal” (image bellow), had been selling for several years in huge replications; it is difficult to explain its success even to me. This model is then glimpsed very often on television in various photo shoots, etc. I even read the following on one of the bride’s forums: “Girls, respond, who are not getting married in Papilio dress “Rock crystal”?” This model was so popular that the incredible amount of fakes was done.
6. From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
The ideal bride – the happiest girl in the world. And it should be visible in her eyes. Her dress is just a frame that can accentuate the natural beauty and make this memorable day even more wonderful.
The girl should feel her dress. It is very important to choose the right one, because it will stay in the memory and on the photos the rest of her life.7. And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
Every dress which is created by our Fashion House made with extraordinary love, from first sketch to the last touch. We believe that every bride feels the positive energy, which we insert into our dresses. Our motto for many years is: “Every Papilio dress must bring happiness to its owner.” We are certain that being inspired in such a way it will definitely be happy!
8. Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
Be loved and give love to everyone. And then, you and the world will be better and cleaner! -
FashionBride’s Interviews: Marie Laporte

1) When did you decide to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
My passion for sketching has its root in my early childhood, where I drew twirling figurines in fairy-tail like dresses. Having a grandmother, who nourished my growing interest for sowing by teaching me all the techniques, definitely sparked my designer-gene. By the time I was 14, she helped me create my fist long dress, and from there on my nimble little fingers had a hard time putting down any pencil or pair of scissors. As I didn’t have so much means, I used scraps of furniture tissue in most of my early designs!
2) Talk us through the first years of your work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time? Are your designs different from the very beginning?
At 18 years I was creating rather dreamy ballroom gowns with cascading tissue in the skirts and flowers tastefully spread all over the dress. I was a mannequin on the side, and this turned out a great advantage when I organized my first catwalk. Knowing other mannequins and makeup artist who volunteered all contributed to many successful shows. After doing an interview on TV with the influential fashion journalist Vivianne Blassel I continued getting coverage in the media and requests for my dresses, but in white! Since then I’ve eagerly poured out romantic wedding dresses, and although the style and volume has changed you can still find my passion for colour and flowers in my recent collections, like the dress Poeme from the 2015 line.
3) Why should a bride to be choose one of your designs?
Every dress from Marie Laporte is customized as we offer bespoken tailoring and so each piece is unique, perfectly fitted to the taste of every young bride. I take great care in choosing only the finest tissues with blends of silk, like in organza, muslin and crêpe, to give the skirts a light and airy quality. My French laces from Calais and Chantilly are romantic and refined, and combined with the designs contribute to a very feminine look. In the dresses with bigger skirts, we offer tulle that gives a soft volume and a weightless appearance! Romance, fluidity and effortless beauty is the style I aim for.
4) Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
As I pass through Paris, I see many beautiful women with impeccable taste. A simple detail in her dress, the neckline or a pattern may bring forth a new idea. I’m very passionate with modern fashion and I follow all the great creators like Dior and Chanel with their collections altering each season. History is of course a great inspiration; details in wedding dresses from the royalty of past centuries make me daydream, and I especially love impressionist paintings where the tissues are marvellous and the volume just spectacular.
Poeme 5) Have you got any piece you’ve created that has a very special meaning for you? Can you describe it or can show us a picture?
My very first creation in silk Doupion I still hold very dear, it was a-symmetrical and strapless, perfectly shaped around the bust and waist. It parted in an a-shape skirt with folded layers all the way down, with flowers in tissue on one hip. Even more amusing, it was green! Then again, I love all my dresses and could have worn each and every one for my own wedding.
6) From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
The most beautiful bride is one that radiates joy and is comfortable in her own skin. Every woman should embrace her shapes, and a dress that show’s off her best features is the perfect one.
7) And tell us what you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t?
I choose my staff with great care and we have a warm and welcoming ambiance to make every bride feel at ease. My seamstresses whom I often refer to as my “honey-bees” have worked steady with me for years and they assure an impeccable finish on each creation. We take great pride in the fact that the production is carried out in the same studio as our boutique, in other words we fulfil every criteria of a bride who seeks quality and expertise.
8)Last, but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
Do remember, that finding your dream dress should be a pleasant adventure, so try to eliminate any stressful situations. Take your time to look at the online collections of designers you find interesting, and give them a call to get any additional information you cannot find on their page. Schedule your appointments in advance and invite one or two persons that you hold dear and whom you’d want to share this special moment with. You know you found the right dress when the realization “this is it” appears in your thoughts, kind of like when you realized that your fiancé was the one.

1. When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
It’s a difficult question because it wasn’t a dream for me to be a fashion designer.
I enrolled to the faculty of business & management in the university of Jerusalem and before starting i visited my uncle in the USA that had some stores for menswear , womenswear and accessories . It was amazing, I enjoyed every minute and I decided that I need to try and study fashion design.
I enrolled to one of the best schools in the world Istituto Marangoni in Milan . I said to myself that I will try 1 year and at the end I stayed for 8 years, studying at Istituto Marangoni and working at the fashion house Enrico Coveri . In one of my vacation in Israel, I was invited to my relative that had a boutique for brides & evening and I fell in love. I decided to leave Milan and to come back to Israel. I began to design my first brides collection at home and a seamstress did for me all the samples. Before I finished the collection one bride hear about me and ordered my first wedding dress. I was happy, for me it was a big satisfaction and an honor that a bride chooses me for her special day that remain forever in her heart. Afterwards my father forced me to take a boutique and to begin working .
I always say that I just wanted to try!2. Talk us through the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time. Are your designs different from the very beginning?
In the past a designer did a nice collection and sold it ,just like that! Nowadays it’s not like that and it’s not enough . Today you need to be aware about the prices, materials, costs, staff management, timing and marketing that changes very fast .the fashion world becoming global, fast, available, up to date , on line . no business in the fashion industry is just design but must be with a business vision and knowledge ,otherwise it will not survive .I would define it as 50:50 design:business .One of my dreams was to have a designer identity an imprint that is very clear to me and to my clients . In the last 10 years of my business, clients always said to me that its quiet easy to identify my style and the common line in all the collections .All my dresses in their essence are classic, updated. Every year I try to bring something else, search for new patterns and different elements ,fabrics ,trying to surprise myself and the crowd that follows me .you can see the evolution of my design line over the years .each dress is a creation , sometimes easy sometimes agonizing. I must fall in love with it and if not it will not be in the collection.3. Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?
First of all it shows that she has good taste and seriously the bride that choose one of my dresses doesn’t want the conventional wedding dress.it is classic but sophisticated. My dresses are made with smart pattern and shape ,I don’t like to see bride that is suffering from the weight of the dress or that is to tight on her body .i don’t care about the size of her body, as a designer I need to give solutions for everything that bother the bride , I do care about her movement ,maximum comfort ,harmony without harming the beauty !
Aesthetics and harmony for me are the keywords, this is the difference between what “works” and what doesn’t. The fabrics and the laces that I use are in the highest quality, I am an expert to “hunt” the right fabric and to give them the proper use and solutions.4. Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
I am all the time in a research about fabrics, art, what it happening in the world of design. Sometimes inspiration comes from the fabric, from a vintage dress that I found in a vintage market in London, from visiting places around the world, sometimes I just draw something I dreamt about. Inspiration is not a permanent thing; I have learnt not to say no, that’s what makes the job so interesting.
5. Have you got any piece you’ve created and that has a very special meaning for you? Can you describe it or can show us a picture?
I think the most meaningful dress of my life is the dress that I design for my wife for our wedding. It was an amazing short lacy dress, and not conventional.6. From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
The bride needs to respect her character and her body. Feel comfortable in the dress ,often I ask her to be flexible , I want to take her to something that she didn’t think about cause having wedding dress usually happens one time a life .the dress is a significant part of the bride’s total look ,it has to be in harmony with her accessories ,shoes ,hair and makeup . I want that once the bride enter to her event the effect will be wow, not just for the dress but for the whole total look.7. And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
First, I am in the studio all the time , I give them “the designer” and not a saleswoman/man. I am involved in every detail of the dress. I match the body and the character of the bride to the right dress. I control the production and usually I am involved in all the fittings .my dresses give a classic , sophisticated minimalist but fashionable look .I try to give a twist to the classic and traditional look of a wedding dress.8. Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
Despite the fact that all that period of wedding organization is stressful, exciting and important , you must have fun! Surround yourself with people that can support you, relax you, and give you a lot of good energy. Remember to breath (we need to do so), to smile and to be nice to those around you ,don’t forget that after the wedding you need to talk to those people.So congratulation

FashionBride’s Interviews: Jenny Lee

1. When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
I knew I wanted to be a designer since I was 7 years old. My mother used to take me to tailor shops and private design houses to get custom outfits made. She gave me the freedom to choose the fabric, color, design of what I wore and I fell in love with it. I started designing wedding dresses in 1994, when I went to find my own wedding dress.
2. Talk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time? Are your designs different from the very beginning?
At the start of my career as a bridal designer, giant ball gowns were really in. I wanted to make dresses though that really accentuated the bride’s body, more form fitting and sexy. There weren’t many dresses available in that style at the time, so I was able to use my skills to fill in that hole that was missing. Over time, my dresses have changed, but the emphasis on form and fit has stayed the same.
3. Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?
My dresses are beautifully custom tailored with couture workmanship. A bride’s wedding day is special, and I want the experience of getting the dress to feel personal and memorable. I design the gowns with the bride in mind, taking in consideration their personality as well as their body. Each dress is hand tailored, just like in high couture houses, and I hand choose the fabrics from the established textiles houses from Europe. They’re individualistic, playful, sexy, and feminine.
4. Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
I always have and always will be inspired by my brides!
5. Have you got any piece you’ve created and that has a very special meaning for you? Can you describe it or can show us a picture?
In my recent collection (Fall 2015) I created an all lace sweetheart gown with a ruffle detailed train. I love this dress because it encompasses all the qualities that define me and a bridal designer. It’s feminine, luxurious, playful, sexy, and romantic with a corset fit accentuating the body’s natural curves.
6. From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
The perfect bride looks timeless. Instead of focusing on trends, I take in consideration what part of the body the bride is most confident in, and then I make sure to highlight those areas. I want a bride to look back at their photos and say ‘Wow I look good’”.
7. And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
The haute couture experience. My dresses are not mass produced, they are perfectly made with each bride in mind. Over years of experiences, I’ve learned to engineer and construct dresses to create the perfect curves and shape.
8. Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
For brides-to-be: Your wedding is a very special day. It’s easy to get caught up in fads, trends, and ideas you’ve conjured of how you imagined yourself to be since you were a little girl. But when picking a dress, it’s important to focus on the importance things: who you are, what your best assets are, and figuring out how to express those attributes. I’ve had a lot of brides come in with a very specific idea they had, but sometimes what you want isn’t what’s best for you. The things you least expect to work for you end up being the best surprises. So shop with an open mind!

FashionBride’s Interviews: Ida Sjöstedt
Advertisements
1. When did you decided to become a designer and why did you find this domain interesting?
I have loved fashion and creativity for as long as I can remember – and I started making my own clothes whn I was around ten years old.
When I was 16 I started studying fashion and since then I knew this was what i wanted to do.
2. Talk us trough the first years of you work. Maybe you could tell us what did change in time? Are your designs different from the very beginning?
I have always stuck to my own handwriting as a designer – but over the years I have constantly tried to develop my collections and my skills – in terms of materials, fit, the size of the collections etc. We started with lace in our very first collection but it was a bit more street orientated then – whereas now the collections are more evening wear. That also has to do with fashion in general –at least in Sweden-. Fashion to me is about staying true to your self but never stand still.
3. Why should a bride-to-be choose one of your designs?
First and foremost our designs are about being beautiful and gorgeous – but what you can’t tell from a first look is that they are also extremly comfortable. Brides who try our dresses are often stunned by the lightness and the softness of the fit and the materials and we often tell them that these are dresses to allow you to have fun. You can look amazing and still dance, eat a three course dinner and even sleep in your dress. Our philosophy is the opposite to beauty is pain. Also I think it makes a difference to my design that I’m a fashion designer first and a bridal designer secondly.
4. Do tell us a bit more about your inspiration sources.
I’m very much inspired by popular culture but the main inspiration for me is women and especially the cliché images of female stereotypes that we are surrounded by in popular culture and the media. Fairytale princesses, power women, femme fatales and ice queen are some sources of inspiration to name a few. I also love the work of for example Sofia Coppola and her films are always very inspiring to me.
5. Have you got any piece you’ve created and that has a very special meaning for you? Can you describe it or can show us a picture?
The Mylene dress is one of my personal favorites. When we first showed it in Stockholm everyone thought it was to risqué and see through, but it is such a natural design –simple and intricate at the same time so it has become a bit of an Ida sjöstedt classic.
6. From your point of view, how should a perfect bride look like?
She should look natural and stay true to her personal style. To me the perfect bride look is highly individual. You can tell if a bride is comfortable in her dress and to me that is what’s most important.
7. And tell us what would you give her and, maybe, other brands can’t.
We always give our customers a personal service and we always make sure that the bride looks as good as she can. We never try to push anyone into getting a dress of ours. When I meet brides to be who try on our dresses, I can tell by the look in their eyes if it’s the right dress or not.
8. Last but not least, do you have any advice for FashionBride readers?
If you have the opportunity to have a dress made to order – go for it. As long as the fit is right you will look amazing. And have fun!
