Is Greta Constantine a Luxury Brand?
[coveti_shop_v2]
Short answer, yes. Greta Constantine is a designer eveningwear house from Toronto, founded in 2006 by Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong. The label debuted at Holt Renfrew and has shown during Toronto and New York Fashion Week ever since.
Who is behind Greta Constantine
The name pairs Wong’s mother, Greta, with Pickersgill’s grandfather, Constantine. The two became known as the jersey boys of Toronto for the way they drape and gather jersey into gowns that read as one fluid piece of fabric. That signature, tight where it should be and airy everywhere else, is what sets the house apart from most occasion labels.
Why it counts as luxury
Greta Constantine is made in Canada, shown on the runway, and worn on red carpets by Coco Rocha, Angelina Jolie and Naomi Campbell. It was nominated for Womenswear Designer of the Year at the 2014 CAFA Awards. The pieces are produced in considered quantities, not at fast-fashion scale, and the construction rewards a closer look.
