Passionate for the work of volumes, layers, bias and her signature draping style with every pleat being done hand draping the cloth, the noblest fabrics are morphed with architectural cuts, sewn up in impeccably crafted silhouettes, ranging from sharp tailored jackets and pantsuits, to fluid, evanescent gowns and bridals and contemporary columns.
Clothes and sculptural details interact with technically challenging patterns and the complexion of fabrics, from faille de soie, duchesse, taffettas and gazar, to diaphanous mousseline de soie, light floating chiffon, iconic tulle or signature laces.
Expect to find sculpted elements on waists and peplums, audacious custom-made Christine Kostoff Jewelry adorning pieces, stunning, dramatic long trains fully sculpted in silk fabric, statement sleeves and necklines, signature couture flowers.
Between tradition, the influence of the Arts and Crafts and modernity, expect to find delicate laces, hand-cut appliqués, innovative lace intarsia treated in a graphic way, intricate beadwork embroideries, Swarovski crystals embellishments, moulded silk fabric petals or organza and crêpe-satin hand-painted pastel cascading blossoms framing a keyhole back.
The creation style embraces supercharged femininity, the silhouettes are rendered sculptural, distinctive, highlighting with every outfit, the expressive power of clothing.
The diverse fruit of inspiration sourced from the classicism of ancient sculptures, the archives of the 1950' s couture, revisitée, the contemporary Hollywood revelry with the Red Carpet fascination or the trend-driven concepts, merge with a keen understanding of the diverse clientele, mixing grace, elegance and boldness in this play on glamour.
Collections are heterogenous, eclectic, each silhouette presenting an autonomous character.
Most of the collections are cocktail or evening wear in color, but all of them translates to the aisle when made in white.
