Spring awakening! The Spring 2018 collection by Francesca Miranda is inspired by pink- not just by the color, but also by what the color represents- romance, individuality, and femininity. The collection includes 17 styles in a wide range of silhouettes- featuring handmade floral appliqués, custom laces, endless tulle layers, silk jacquard, and Swarovski crystal accents. Unapologetically girly, Spring 2018 is a celebration of women- an explicit ode to the female artisans who handmake each Francesca Miranda gown in her Barranquilla, Colombia atelier.
