Christian Blanken is a UK based designer who was born in the Netherlands and grew up in the Far East and later the UK. He re-established his brand again in 2008 after an absence of nine years. His collections are auspicious and his ambitions far reaching. His aim, he says: “Is to expand the collections in scope and breadth every season and, at the same time, attempt to stay true to an overriding philosophy of making impeccable, beautifully made, timeless pieces that can weather the cyclical and, sometimes, disposable nature of fashion and be enjoyed again and again.”

Characteristic for his collections is the focus on high-quality and beautiful fabrics. The silhouettes are simple and well defined. His AW12 collection caused a stir in the industry and hell yeah, we love it as well! Enchanting dresses, combinations with black leather, a touch of gold and silver and femininity all over. We cannot wait for future collections to come our way.
