Nadia Manjarrez Fall 2025 collection draws deeply from the surreal, dreamlike world of Latin American painter Guillermo Lorca. The inspiration stems from Nadia’s visit to the MOCO Museum in Barcelona, where she was captivated by Lorca’s powerful, narrative-driven oil paintings that explore a delicate balance between nature and humanity. His ability to weave fantasy and realism ignites the mood for this collection, which is both whimsical and dramatic, evoking a sense of romance while nodding to the supernatural. Hand-drawn peonies and irises come alive in this collection, echoing the natural elements found in Lorca’s work. These blooms not only adorn the fabrics but are brought to life in 3D forms, giving the garments a dynamic and sculptural quality. A soft, seafoam green, borrowed from Lorca’s palette, becomes a central hue for a dramatic ballgown, complementing the fantasy and dreamlike quality of the designs. This season, corsets reign supreme, present in nine of the eleven styles, lending structure and a sense of regality to the garments. Sweetheart necklines emphasize the romantic, while structured drop waists and picot flounces create a modern, yet timeless silhouette. These shapes embody the collection’s balance between control and whimsy as if each piece is plucked from a surreal narrative. Nadia Manjarrez The collection’s fabrications are carefully selected to enhance the sense of fantasy and otherworldliness. Luxurious jacquards, corded lace, and “hand-painted” tulle bring texture and depth to each design. Italian poly faille and crinkle chiffon add movement, while lace tulle combinations and rose appliqués create a rich, tactile landscape. The use of sheer linings and lace details further evokes the tension between opacity and transparency, much like the balance of power seen in Lorca’s art. The sea foam statement gown in the collection represents a link to the natural world and a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere. This tone, combined with delicate lace and chiffon, give the collection a soft, enchanting feel while retaining an edge of mystery. Nadia invites the wearer to step into a world where fantasy meets reality, where nature’s beauty is at once delicate and powerful, and where every garment tells a story inspired by the interplay of light, dark, and the surreal. ## Learn More @nadiamanjarrezbridal
