Katerina Bocci Launches 2011 Collection This Month

Michigan-based couture designer Katerina Bocci is launching her 2011 luxury bridal collection this month. She premièred the Katerina Bocci Bridal Collection just last year (2009) to glowing reviews.

The award-winning designer first garnered international acclaim among fashion elite and celebrities, including Aretha Franklin, Fergie and Jordin Sparks following the successful launch of her haute couture eveningwear collection in 2007.

Bocci will showcase her 2011 bridal collection - her second - at New York International Bridal Week at New York City's Pier 94 from Oct. 16-18. Her gowns will also be revealed in the exclusive Wedding Trendspot Fashion Show at the W New York at noon Oct. 17, 2010. Bocci is traveling to New York with Michigan's Runway Spa & Salon who will handle hair and makeup for several local models, including Tika Ivezaj (Victoria's Secret Model Search Finalist).

Known for her beautifully feminine silhouettes and bold, avant-garde designs, Bocci continues to intrigue and delight with her breathtaking new bridal collection.

The 2011 Katerina Bocci Bridal Collection will carry on her luxury line's tradition of using exquisite fabrics, hand-sewn craftsmanship and innovative and sophisticated designs. Bocci uses 100 percent silk organza and tulle in an array of whites, creams and blushes to create gowns that will encompass each bride's unique sense of style.

Complete with hand-cut patterns, custom designs, and hand-sewn wedding dresses for the most discerning brides-to-be, Bocci's 2011 collection showcases her creative use of hand-beaded and metallic thread laces, rosettes, and Swarovski trims and stones.

Inspired by real brides, Bocci's 2011 collection features an array of designs, including stunning, cutting-edge gowns fit for formal affairs; sleek, classic designs fit for uptown weddings; and sweet and sexy dresses perfect for destination and outdoor ceremonies.

Bocci's years of pattern making experience rounds out the true custom design process for flawless, formfitting perfection. All of Bocci's designs hold the bride's exact measurements, which she either takes herself or are sent in by the select bridal boutiques that carry the line.

In her 3,200-square-foot design studio located in Shelby Township, Michigan, Bocci designs, sews and produces gowns made in the USA with eco-friendly materials, including 100 percent cotton for comfortable dress liners. Bocci's collection offers a broad range of price points from $2,000-$12,000 to accommodate brides of all budgets.

In 2010 alone, Bocci has earned a spot on the Crain's Detroit Business 40 Under 40 (released today), The Knot's Best of Michigan, Hour Detroit's Best of Detroit and Real Detroit Weekly's Best of Detroit.

Before coming to America in 2001 where she quickly became recognized for her one-of-a-kind creations, Bocci attended the SITAM School in Padova, Italy. Upon graduation Bocci opened her own fashion studio in Albania, and was the director of the tailor school organized from CIFIR Di Bari.

Katerina Bocci Designs is open from 10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Monday-Saturday at 14232 Rick Drive in Shelby Township. For more information or appointments please call 586-247-3622 or visit www.katerinabocci.com.
