She has confidently brought the house’s glorious tradition into the 21st century.  All creations are handmade, especially designed for each client: rare technique, the apotheosis of craftsmanship and creativity.  Having taking measurements thoroughly and after two rehearsals, the best seamstresses sew, embroider and prepare each creation from the very beginning: every creation is unique, exclusive, “as if it hasn’t been touch by human hand”, Celia notes. Silk lace from Paris, taffeta, tulle, precious stones, the most talented seamstresses and the tradition of more than a century are essential to lift off Celia’s talent.

Unique, graceful and feminine, women love to wear them as the handmade procedure highlights their true beauty. “My wish is the confidence of the woman wearing my clothes to rise as the zipper goes up”. From cocktail dresses to wedding gowns, one of Celia’s biggest passions, her mission  is to present the best image possible of every woman who chooses Celia Kritharioti creation.
