    LOOKBOOK: BERTA FALL COLLECTION 2019

    October 22, 2018 - By 

    Berta Balilti’s presentation of beautiful brides was breathtaking at the recent Bridal Week New York. The highly anticipated runway show delivered  on her signature sparkle meets daringly sexy curves and cuts.

From ball gowns to mermaids and even a mini cocktail gown that definitely had burlesque inspirations, Berta ensured that there…
