With over 25 years of experience designing and crafting beautiful bridal gowns, Christos Costarellos is considered one of the best wedding dress designers in the world. Combining timeless elegance and neo-romanticism, he tastefully incorporates iconic vintage references and the classic beauty of the past with the present. His designs blur the line between the brand's ready-to-wear and bridal ranges, embodying the well thought-out expansion of the collections to create versatile styles suitable for all brides.
The designer continues to build on his distinctly feminine aesthetic while combining the familiar and the exceptional through opposing materialisations and delicate craftsmanship. Showcasing the intricate lacework and hand-embroidered embellishments that add a touch of opulence and refinement to each gown, he merges the ease of the Mediterranean with the attention to detail of a Parisian house and the sophistication of an English label.
The ethereal designs are informed by Greek traditional elements, such as the elaborate lace patterns found on the Aegean islands, as well as the clean-cut, minimal Ancient Grecian dresses inspired by Ionic architectural rhythm and carved embellishments. The bridal collections showcase the coexistence of tradition and modernity, mirrored in the garments' couture techniques and sensual sheerness.
Dedicated to ethical production and sustainability, the collections utilise renewable fibres and handcrafted details that connect each piece to local Greek artisans. By capturing balance between classic and modern in designs made thoughtfully and well, the bridal collections brim with delicate yet empowering feminine energy.
The bridal ranges are reflective of the brand's signature use of European lace and tulle, masterfully draped and layered in a contemporary way. The versatile collections also feature regal ball gowns in embossed brocade, French tulle and double satin gowns that evoke a sense of conventional romanticism, off shoulder silk crepe gowns and twill crepe and silk-wool jumpsuits that make a statement in luxurious minimalism. Delicate shimmering beadwork, fringing and elegant lace overlays celebrate the brand's unapologetic yet sophisticated approach to femininity.
Costarellos bridal gowns have graced the pages of countless international publications, such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Brides Magazine, ELLE and Tatler, to name a few. The brand continues to collaborate with leading online retailers, releasing exclusive bridal capsule collections with the likes of Net-A-Porter and MyTheresa.
