Rosa Clará founded her namesake brand of
wedding dresses
in 1995, when she opened her first wedding dress store in Paseo de Gracia, Barcelona. This began the first chapter of an exciting story in which the Spanish fashion designer and entrepreneur changed the rules of bridal fashion forever, enamouring brides the world over with cutting-edge designs that celebrate individuality, romance and elegance.

Fashion alliances
Having defined its own style, in 2002 the firm began a new chapter via its first collaboration with an international designer: haute-couture icon Christian Lacroix. This partnership, followed by other successful collaborations with renowned designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Zuhair Murad, was a decisive leap forward for the firm.
A benchmark in bridal fashion
With her own collection, Rosa Clará went on to launch each edition of the Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, the leading international wedding fashion show, surprising attendees with dresses packed with creativity and magic, and introducing new trends designed to make the dreams of every bride come true.

The much-anticipated annual fashion show contributed to cementing the brand's reputation as an industry leader, for both the professional audience and women worldwide. This is reflected in the number of familiar faces, friends of the firm, who look to the designer to dress their most important events: Antonela Roccuzzo for her wedding to Leo Messi in 2017, Marie Chevallier who married Louis Ducruet in Monaco in 2019, and Mery Perelló, when she tied the knot with tennis player Rafa Nadal in 2019.

Wedding dresses and cocktail dresses
Following the same goal established at the firm's very beginnings - creating bespoke designs to make women happy - the Rosa Clará Group launched a comprehensive service for brides and their guests, creating the Rosa Clará Cocktail collection in 2007. And, always with women and their needs on special occasions in mind, the group also introduced bridal and party accessories collections to help brides achieve a flawless Rosa Clará total look.

"For me, the fact that my only child is joining the company means future. On both a personal and professional level, it is the perfect finishing touch to my career. I think that together we still have many brides to serve all over the world."
