"The creative process I follow forms a bridge that connects elements from the past, making them relevant to the present as they project ideas for the future."
– Christos Costarellos
Athens-based Christos Costarellos studied costume design at the London College of Fashion before founding his eponymous brand in 1998. From his initial evening wear focus, Costarellos' ready-to-wear collections have grown to cover all parts of a polished wardrobe, ranging from day-to-night separates to contemporary bridal looks, to effortless resort wear.
Inspiration from the designer’s native Greece is the common thread that is woven throughout every collection. Christos infuses elements of Greek mythology, tradition, culture and the natural beauty of his surroundings to create dream-like pieces that breathe femininity with fitted, body-enhancing and elegant silhouettes.
Still sketching every design himself, Christos personally oversees all of production to accurately bring his collections to fruition. The Costarellos aesthetic exemplifies a cultural mix set in a sophisticated, cosmopolitan world, tastefully incorporating iconic vintage references and the classic beauty of the past.
The Costarellos label has evolved into an international brand that is synonymous with the enduring romanticism it has artfully mastered.
