Patty Panatou's latest collection of wedding gowns only goes to further establish her as Australia's most distinguished and leading innovator of the glamorous-tailored wedding gown. Her designs are timeless in their elegance have the look of infinite simplicity, combining the perfect cut with sumptuous fabrics, with a romantic grace and modern movement that appeal to women of individual style who want to look both sophisticated and glamorous on the most unforgettable day of their life.
Ms Panatou's designs with the splendid fluidity of a skilful couturiere with 30 years experience and one synonymous with uniqueness. Her inspirations emerge from her appreciation for the classics, her love of the 40's and 50's era and the latest sophisticated silhouettes of the Paris and Milan catwalks and as such, her style is described by fashionistas as "Modern Vintage". Her luxurious sleeveless and backless summer wedding gown styles are equally matched by her genius to create lavish winter gowns with her signature cuffed long sleeves and high cut collars.
Ms Panatou launched her "Basilica Couture" label recently in New York, unveiling a demi-couture range featuring finely tailored and hand finished couture-inspired pieces that is essentially an intermediate level of luxury between ready to wear and couture gowns, where style isn't sacrificed for the budget minded.
