CHRISTINE ADAR
Christine Ammon has been designing custom high-end Eveningwear, Bridal and Costumes for 14 years. She chooses rich, regal luxurious fabrics to make women feel beautiful, feminine and sensual. Christine uses exquisite fabric she visualizes what it could be and then she begins to drape, create and see the garment take shape. After graduated with her first Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, she received her second Bachelor’s with honors in Fashion Design from the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago. It was during this time at school that she began designing under her own label. Christine was honored to be asked to participate in an Italian Study Tour and studied for part of a summer at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Bella Arti Milano) in Milan, Italy. At the end of her degree, she was fortunate enough to intern under a designer in London named Jean-Pierre Braganza where she learned the trials and tribulations of the design business and how much dedication it takes to show at London Fashion Week. Living and working in London enabled her to see and experience design on a global scale and immerse herself in the international fashion scene. During this time she learned how to hone in on her creative skills and use them to shape, cut and fit her designs on a whole new level- becoming truly inspiring. Upon moving back home to the states, she began custom work for private clients and started participating in fashion shows in Phoenix, Milwaukee, Chicago and New York. All of these experiences have helped mold her into the designer she is today- along with some informal design training from her grandmother who was also a beautiful seamstress. Christine wants every woman that wears one of her designs to feel like she’s walking on the “red-carpet.”
