New Website & Blog

My new website and blog is live!
Visit christineokennedy.com or visit the blog directly: christineokennedy.com/category/blog/

I am thrilled to share that I have also made a significant change to my business, a change which will steer my label in a whole new direction. Earlier, me and my team of seamstresses focused on making bespoke (tailor-made) dresses – a unique dress for each of my clients. However, from now on we will be producing a new and complete range of gowns twice a year: Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer. These new ranges will be based on Northern Hemisphere seasons, and will be sold to bridal boutiques across the world. My production team will still be based in South Africa, but my office is temporarily in Switzerland, which means I have many long-haul flights ahead! To view my first collection (Autumn/Winter 2013/14) visit christineokennedy.com/collections/.

This will be my last post on this blog. Thank you for all your visits and I hope to see you on my new blog and website.

Much love from a beautiful snowy Zurich!

♥ Zürich ♥

 My husband and I have moved to Zürich, Switzerland! 

I am sad to leave my business and beautiful country, but excited at the same time for the journey ahead. I must admit, 

I'm loving Switzerland so far! It is a country with wonderful people, gorgeous views and amazing architecture. 

Take a look at my new home:

Carla Steyn (April 2011)

The first words Carla said to me were: "I want something different!" And yes, her stunning dress was different, but not compromising 

on elegance and beauty. Both the front and back bodice, made of dotted mesh, had lace applique and vintage embroidery 

going down to the hip-line, where it flared into layers of lace and soft tulle. Loved it! ♥

Mariné (April 2011)

Mariné got married in the picturesque Bonnievale, where she grew up. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her 

soft pleated veiling and lace gown. The satin ribbon and brooch created a feminine empire band.

I just love how Carmen Visser captured the moment here:

Leoné (Oct 2010)

When Leoné steps into the room, she lights up your day...No wonder I had a great time creating her dress! Her crisp white 

pleated gown flared into soft chiffon layers, giving a clean look with a feminine touch. What a stunning bride!

Nine (April 2011)

You will notice that Nine and I had quite the same look on our wedding days, so I won’t go on for too long about how much I loved her dress! She chose the most beautiful beaded chantilly lace which covered the bodice, flaring into layers of different kinds of vintage lace.  Simply gorgeous! Photographer: Maré Rootman
