Interview with Kristie Romanos, the designer behind Esposacouture!

1- How much did you parents’ business influence your decision to join the bridal luxury field?
Very much! I can’t deny that growing up in a family that has already paved the way for a bridal luxury career was a major contributor to finding and pursuing my passion in life. I can’t be more grateful to having had the chance to discover this exciting world at a young age and have role models to learn from.

2- What keeps you going and inspire you to lead the brand forward against all odds?
My drive stems from my passion for the business as well as my family who supports me unconditionally and inspires me very much. No matter how wrong things can go – and sometimes they do! – I rely on these pillars to recharge myself with the strength and energy that push me forward, towards my dreams. Knowing that your hardwork pays off and that Esposacouture creations have been pleasing and dazzling countless women in the world is the biggest reward for me, and an unbeatable source of inspiration.

3- How can you describe Esposacouture for us?
Esposacouture is tailor-made for the romantic and the sophisticated. The atelier’s enchanting creations redefine the glamorous woman through rare and luxurious fabrics, elegant designs, meticulous details, and an unmatched craftsmanship. Esposacouture is exclusive haute couture weaved with passion and mastery.

4- What are the Esposacouture creations you are most proud of?
It’s very hard for me to choose from these creations, especially the 2018 collection, because each and every piece is to die for! Esposacouture weaves women’s biggest dreams to create exclusive statement dresses that are unique to every bride. The atelier translates years of expertise in the bridal fashion market coupled with a deep understanding of what brides desire, resulting in bespoke creations distinguished by skilled mastery.

5- Who is the Esposacouture bride?
She is definitely not any other bride. The Esposacouture bride is a couture queen by excellence; she is a versatile bride, and loves to stand out. She wants to be unique and she’s not ready to compromise on any detail to make her desires come true. She wants a tailor-made dress because she knows that her dream dress simply cannot be found anywhere.

6- What is the inspiration for the 2018 collection?
LOVE definitely! Romance is aroused like never before with the EsposaCouture Bridal 2018. With a desire to celebrate LOVE desperately, the newly launched collection surrenders to it completely in the most whimsical ways. Luxurious fabrics worked meticulously with intricate motifs, geometric patterns, illusion plunging necklines, and elegant beading fill the collection to make every piece unique for the versatile bride. The dresses present different cleavage options to suit all shapes and bodies.
