The Paris of CELIA KRITHARIOTI

There will always be Paris … Its energy is forever one of absolute fulfilment, of old and new, of elegance and emancipation lasting from long ago to nowadays.

In Paris in the 1920’s, a breath of fresh air came to smooth the sorrow of the previous decade and give space to hope and optimism. Legendary artists, photographers, surrealist poets, dancers and singers set the foundations of the new era.

The joy of life, liberation and empowerment and female emancipation take over and Paris dances to the rhythm of “Les Années Folles”. A century later, the world has left sadness behind and dreams of a better future, more optimistic and more empathetic.

Celia Kritharioti’s Couture Show for Winter 2022-2023 is inspired by the power and exuberance of the 1920s. Art deco references meet luxurious black, pearls and precious gold.

The intricate handmade embroideries, a trademark of the designer, highlight the beauty of the female bust and the sparkles illuminate mini dresses, deux pieces and gowns. Velvet and handmade lace, silk tulle, organza and feathers are the canvas for the talent and creativity of “Couturier to the stars”.

Elsa Hosk, Leonie Hanne, Anna Dello Russo and Marianne Fonseca all walk the catwalk for Celia Kritharioti for the first time. 

In the heart of Paris, at Monnaie de Paris, the new era will be extravagant and fabulous!
