Celia Kritharioti S/S 2026 Collection
Old Hollywood avant-premiere

Cinema is the architecture of dreams. The Golden Age of Hollywood was not merely an era of film; it was the genesis of glamour itself, a time when clothes were not just -worn, but performed.

Welcome to the Celia Kritharioti Couture SS26 Collection. Today marks a premiere in every sense. As we unveil this vision, we celebrate a defining chapter in our history: our debut as an Invited Member of the Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. Carrying the legacy of the oldest couture house in Greece, founded in 1906, we step onto this global stage with a collection that bridges the distance between the ethereal flicker of the projector and the concrete power of the present day.

Cinematic glamour lies at the heart of this collection, anchored in traditional couture savoir-faire. From the Maison's Athens atelier to Paris and Hollywood, feathers, sparkle, and fantasy are translated into a modern language of sheer femininity. Deep black velvet curtains frame the hall as the stage is swathed in acres of white chiffon, conjuring both theatrical spectacle and the quiet intimacy of the couture atelier.

Combining opulence with delicacy, the looks are graceful and radiant. Cut-feather fringes, floral lace incrustations, chains of crystals, and organza rosettes speak to couture craft in its purest form. This collection draws on the expertise of the House's own petites mains and a constellation of heritage Parisian ateliers, including Maison Lemarie and Maison Lesage.

Volume appears to defy gravity, as if inflated by air, in a series of taffeta, silk satin, and organza puff dresses. Airy tulle and chiffon silhouettes are crowned with extravagantly long, translucent veils that drift like shimmering smoke around the body. A procession of grand, screen-siren evening dresses - columns sculpted on the body and punctuated by revealing cut-outs - gives way to a moment of pure poetry: the show's bride. Dressed in a monumental ballgown of ethereal white tulle, entirely covered in embroidered floral lace appliques, she is poised like a ballerina inside a softly backlit musical box.
