I’d like to start focusing occasionally on some of my favourite designers, and Romona Keveža is the perfect choice to launch the series.
Based in New York, she started out on her own in 1999 as a specialist in bridal gowns. In 2009, she expanded her portfolio to evening wear.
As you can see, she takes a lot of inspiration from the golden era of screen goddesses like Grace Kelly and Aubrey Hepburn, and fashion icons like Jacqueline Kennedy. Her designs appear regularly on celebrity red carpets, worn by a real who’s who of A-list names from Angelina to Nicole. Take a look at some of them here.
It’s easy to see why they’ve all gone crazy over Romona. With those heavenly, classic silhouettes, luxury shimmering textiles, dramatically flowing skirts and ultra-feminine bodices and necklines, all combined, of course, with absolutely superb tailoring, she can make any woman look and feel a million dollars plus.
If I had a really special occasion to dress for, and I mean really special, I would go for Romona without hesitation. But I’d definitely have a tough time deciding between the gorgeous single colours like red and emerald green, or one that really takes it to town with those breathtaking floral patterns.
Which would you choose?
