Eau de Parfum by Vera Wang
Any diamond will carry a romantic message to a beloved bride, but only one will set her heart on fire. A diamond that is so perfectly cut that it has all the classic elements of a diamond’s beauty—brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. A diamond that sparkles like a red-hot fire. A Hearts On Fire diamond.

For Cocoe Voci, the dream began when she was just a child. “As a very young child my imagination soared with the fantasy of the gown. At the time I did not know this would come to mean the bridal gown. As of yet, I had no concept of what that meant. I did know the drama, the richness, and could sense what the feeling might be of creating and wearing, or dressing others, in the most special and significant attire.” Cocoe’s inspiration is derived from many sources—“Renoir for his celebration of femininity and Degas for his ballerinas. When I look at a Degas’ ballerinas, there is something so beautiful about his colors, so washed out and so relaxed . . . . In recreating a ballerinesque bridal gown, I focus on the concept of flow and spirit and softness.”
"I use the true couture way – each new design is a process."
There is a particular process Cocoe uses to transform her visions, as if by magic, into her wedding gowns. First, l let ideas float in my mind for months until I have truly put together a vision for my next collection. I absorb, gather, let the ideas float, then I begin to look for the fabrics which will become my canvas.” The masters who inspire me include designers such as Worth, Lacroix, Dior, and Valentino.” - Cocoe Voci
Detail is important. That quarter of an inch, that half-inch, makes the difference.” - Cocoe Voci |
