T
he Buenos Aires
wedding
dress
designer,
Augustina Böhtlingk, writes
eloquently of her unique
vocation:
"For a woman, this dress
is the personification of a
dream generated since
childhood. In her fantasy, the
groom represents absolute
happiness. In the moment
in which a woman makes
her marriage vows, in this
instant, all her energy and
emotion are vested in her
gown."
It was on her own wedding
day that fashion designer
Böhtlingk had an epiphany:
henceforth she would design
haute couture bridal wear.
Since that time, she has
become the veritable Vera
Wang of Argentina.
