Veil as the protagonist

Giuliana Parabiago's editorial.

The veil is associated to the image of the bride as an aura of sorts, full of charm and effect, like a cloud, delicate and light that goes with the dress. Stylists understood it and devote great attention to it.

 

Never again without it - or at least almost never - the veil has become part of entire collections. It accompanies the dress, emphasizes its style, not so much as an accessory, but as a co-protagonist. This power made it acquire a certain independence. Depending on the dress it may have a different length and feature unique decorations, even not necessarily matched. The latest fashion shows highlighted this. They have never taken it for granted, but have indulged in offering endless variations, from eccentric to romantic. Definitely serious, the Madonna-style one, resting on the head, while very fashionable the cloak one that can flutter at every step. Then short and rounded the cape one or charming the one that starts from the sleeves just like the wings of a neoclassical statue. Pleated veils, studded with pearls, simple or doubled, longer than the dress itself or taking the shape of a small veil.
