Celia Kritharioti wowed Paris with her new collection during French Haute Couture Week, joining fashion giants like Valentino, Dior, and Chanel.
The Pavillon Cambon hall sparkled with glamour and a cosmopolitan vibe, while photographers captured moments of former First Lady of France, Carla Bruni, and the US ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who was there with her son.
Many notable guests from fashion, business, and diplomacy attended the event. Among them were Cypriot businessman John Christodoulou, designer Michalis Pantelidis, and Alexandra Nika, wife of Konstantinos Argyros. The designer’s family was also present – her husband Nikos Tsakos and their twin daughters Irene and Elisabeth, along with her brother Nikos Krithariotis and his wife Nastazia Dariva.
Also in attendance were figures like Greece’s permanent representative to UNESCO George Koumoutsakos, Greece’s consul in Paris Georgios Kontos, Rosemary Hatziioannou, Roi Apostolopoulou, Christina Mitsi, Soula Liakou, and many other fashion and society personalities.
Celia Kritharioti’s haute couture collection is called “Cinema is the Architecture of Dreams”. It draws inspiration from Hollywood’s Golden Age, a time full of glamour and new opportunities for women. Through her handcrafted evening dresses, the designer showcases elegance and femininity while blending Greek couture tradition with modern cosmopolitan style.
The bridal gown made of white silk tulle and embroidered lace stole the spotlight. The bride looked like a ballerina in a music box.
The evening also celebrated Greek fashion as Celia Kritharioti became an Invited Member of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. This honor recognizes her among the top haute couture houses. From Athens to Paris, Celia Kritharioti showed that Greek haute couture can express international style with elegance, creativity, and effortless luxury.
