I am an Italian designer based in London.
Specialising in flamboyant uber chic lightweight gowns, artfully crafted using natural fabrics, European laces, vintage heirlooms and hand embroidery.
Designed to make you feel effortlessly beautiful, all gowns are handmade to order, customisable or bespoke.
My vision is to create beautiful outfits, sustaining local craft in England and Europe while making couture more accessible.

My Story
Born in a small town in Italy, I grew in a family of fashion manufactures and bespoke tailors and learnt to make her first dress at the age of 6.

In 1999 I moved to London and whilst at Central Saint Martins, my darkly romantic aesthetic caught the eye of Florence Welch, for whom I designed her first US tour costumes.

Following the success of the collaboration, in 2012 Cristina set up her eponymous label, designing bespoke outfits as well as ready to order collections.

The combination of Italian heritage with glam rock styling made my dresses an instant success and a unique choice for the modern bride looking for sublime elegance with a touch of chic/risque’.

I now work with a small team of industry expert makers and welcomes you to view the collection at my beautiful home studio in the heart of Clerckenwell.
