Christos 2011 Bridal Collection

Christos Desiree Detail
CHRISTOS Collection

The CHRISTOS Collection was established by Cyprus-born designer Christos Yiannakou. After over 20 years of designing renowned, romantic wedding gowns, Mr. Yiannakou retired in 2005. He passed his legacy onto Ethiopian designer Amberra Amsale, who now adds her own modern touch to the collection in addition to her other brands, AMSALE and Kenneth Pool.

Waist accents are huge in both the 2010 and Spring 2011 CHRISTOS wedding dress collections. Flowers, bows, belts – you name it. These details are perfect to accentuate both slim and curvy silhouettes and to highlight the transition from fitted bodice to flared skirt.
