After four years designing luxury bridal wear, the creators of Bo & Luca have engineered a concentrated assortment of ten youthful, minimalist and price-conscious gowns in its first collection previewed at April 2017 New York Bridal Week, to the excitement of buyers across the Unites States and Europe.
Despite growing interest by brides internationally for Bo & Luca, there was always one thing Shannon Pittman, Creative Director and Founder, was concerned with. “It broke my heart…when woman would email us being recently engaged and enquire about a gown of ours she had liked for years, only to find out they could not afford one of our pieces.” Shannon spent a year working with her team in Mumbai, India, to develop a range of gowns made with the same raw silk fabrication and hand-beaded attention to detail as Bo & Luca, but at a more affordable prices. The result are designs that take cues from the boldness of the 70s but maintain the elegance and intricacy of an heirloom wedding gown. Like Bo & Luca’s signature line, T E M P L E remains effortless and relaxed. Without boning, cinching, and ties of traditional bridalwear, these gowns are as comfortable to wear as they are beautiful.
T E M P L E by Bo & Luca brings a new energy to the bridal industry. The brand is noticeably raw, confident and at moments playful - with designs that are so unstructured and atypical to the bridal industry that feels challenging, beckoning a new age in bridal. With styles like the Cole gowns’ flowing gathered silk tiers and loose silhouette, even ladies who are self-proclaimed “non-brides” could reconsider.
Collection 01 of T E M P L E by Bo & Luca will be in stores globally in September 2017.
