ET SAVOIR FAIRE
In 2016, working with Saint-Laurent by Heidi Slimane, one of Christina´s dreams became reality. She got to travel to Los Angeles for one of the greatest fashion events in the world, one of the most important fashion shows of “Saint-Laurent at the Hollywood Palladium”, a unique experience which would pave the way to the launch of her own brand, Christina Prieth. Her concept is timeless dresses for women who describe themselves as “fun, feminine, positive, self-confident and who know what they want”.
Currently, Christina juggles the set-up of her brand, Christina Prieth, her collaborations with prestigious Paris fashion houses and Art as a way of life and a form of expression.
In 2013, however, and to follow her dreams, Christina moved to Paris where she took a Master in Advanced Pattern Design and Fashion Design at the Chambre Syndicale School of Fashion. That is where she completed a few creative projects and participated in national fashion contests for Kobe (Japanese), Carapaces (part of Les Enfants Terribles, Paris), Sixième Étage (H&M design award) and Let Me Shine (Hyères contest).
In 2014, she worked with the wedding dress designer, Christophe-Alexandre Docquin, from whom she learnt the French-touch techniques.Later, she started working for the most prestigious fashion houses´ dressmaking workshops such as Chanel, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Saint-Laurent, etc. She participated in the completion of the most exquisite haute couture pieces, which enabled her to polish her sewing, textile design and garment construction techniques.
