This store’s latest collection highlights intricate embroidery, exquisite beadwork and luxurious fabrics. We speak to the team about their design signature, latest collection, and more.

What’s your latest collection all about?
Strikingly elegant gowns for the fashion-forward bride. They feature delicate lace, exquisite beadwork and intricate embroidery against white silk and other luxe fabrics.

What is Digio’s design signature?
Our distinctive cuts and creative mix of materials, colours and details. Think fluid chiffon sheaths, soft tulle and satin adorned with lace and pearls. We also have styles that gently hug the body and even highlight curves with ingenious cut-out guipure (a heavy lace consisting of embroidered motifs held together by large connecting stitches) overlays and ruching.

What should brides be looking for when shopping for a dress?
The main highlight of our next collection is blush wedding dresses. Coloured gowns are a trend that is set to continue into the second half of 2014. Think vibrant coral, cerise and raspberry, satiny champagne pink, vintage-inspired powdery hues (such as dusty rose), romantic peach, lilac and pale blue alternatives, as well as ombre and multi-tonal colours. Less conventional choices include metallic and jewel hues with neon brights as an accent colour.
