How to Style the Slashed Bikini Blazer in Lightwash by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define the waist with a belt, a wrap line, and bias cuts. Esber’s gathered and ruched panels do a lot of this work already, so let them sit where they fall.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices and waist-defining seams flatter natural curves. Let the cloth skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Column lines and full-length hems suit longer frames. The vertical drape here adds height without swamping the proportion.
- Petite: Look for a high waist and a defined shoulder. The cut-out placement on this piece breaks the body line, which helps shorter frames read longer.

About Christopher Esber
Christopher Esber is an Australian label based in Sydney. The designer graduated from Sydney’s Fashion Design Studio in 2008 and founded the house in 2010. He took the regional Woolmark Prize in 2014, made his on-schedule Paris Fashion Week debut in September 2023, and in June 2024 became the first Australian to win the Grand Prix at the ANDAM Awards. The house is known for sculptural hardware, cut-outs that use negative space, and tailoring met with fluid drape. Christopher Esber is a Luxury Handbags editor favourite for occasion dressing and resort travel, and a recurring choice for women who buy few pieces and keep them for years.
“This is the kind of Christopher Esber piece we point people towards when they want one thing that works hard. It is well cut, and it takes more than one styling. The fabric is what separates it from contemporary labels at the same price.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Luxury Shoes

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Christopher Esber Slashed Bikini Blazer in Lightwash authentic?
Yes. Every Christopher Esber piece sold by Luxury Handbags is 100% authentic and authenticity-verified before dispatch.
What size am I in Christopher Esber?
Christopher Esber is cut on Australian sizing, and the brand’s own conversion table maps AU straight onto UK, so an AU 8 is a UK 8, an AU 10 is a UK 10, and so on. In US sizing an AU 8 is roughly a US 4, and in Italian sizing a 42. Sizes on this page are shown in UK. The line is clean and cut true to the size. The model is 180cm and wears a UK 8. Sizes shown are UK, converted from the brand’s AU ladder where AU 8 equals UK 8.
Does Christopher Esber run true to size?
The house publishes no blanket sizing correction, so the pieces are cut true to the Australian ladder. Tailored shapes run true. The ruched jersey and body-contouring knits stretch with wear, so they hold a closer line than a woven of the same size. Check the size guide on this page for the brand’s own bust, waist and hip measurements.
What is Christopher Esber known for?
Christopher Esber (Australia, founded in Sydney in 2010) is known for sculptural hardware, cut-outs built around negative space, and tailoring met with fluid drape. The signature brass orbit and prong hardware runs across the collections, on swim, jersey and eveningwear alike. The designer won the ANDAM Grand Prix in 2024, the first Australian to do so.
What is the Christopher Esber orbit hardware?
The orbit is the house signature, a handcrafted brass ring worn as a fastening rather than hidden as one. It appears as a buckle, a prong, and a clasp that holds a gathered panel in place, and it recurs season after season across swim, jersey and eveningwear, which is why one Christopher Esber piece reads as part of a set with another. The related prong and droplet clasps work the same way, with a natural stone set into the brass on some styles.
Is Christopher Esber good quality, and is it worth the price?
Christopher Esber sits in contemporary luxury rather than fast fashion. Production runs through an in-house Sydney atelier with specialist craftspeople in France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain, the hardware is solid brass rather than plated trim, and the fabrics are named on every product page so you can check what you are buying. The industry view is on the record: the regional Woolmark Prize in 2014, an on-schedule Paris Fashion Week debut in September 2023, and the ANDAM Grand Prix in June 2024, which came with a 300,000 euro grant and a year of mentoring from Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello. At Luxury Handbags most ready-to-wear lands between 600 and 1,500 USD, with eveningwear above that.
Where can I buy Christopher Esber?

Can I return this, and how long does delivery take?
Ready-to-wear can be returned if it is unworn, unwashed, and still carries an intact Luxury Handbags security tag. Removing the tag voids the return. The window is short and the return is arranged through the Luxury Handbags Return Center, so start it as soon as the parcel lands. Original shipping and a return processing fee are deducted from the refund, and authentication adds a few business days before funds are released. Swimwear, jewellery, sale items and bespoke pieces are final sale and cannot be returned, which covers the Christopher Esber swim styles. Delivery is by DHL Express and FedEx International Priority. Current windows and the full terms are in the logistics and returns protocol.

Pieces carrying brass hardware should be stored so the metal does not press into the cloth.
