CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL
THE DESIGNER
BORN IN COPENHAGEN AND EDUCATED IN FASHION FROM COLLEGE OF DANISH DESIGN, KOLDING AND GRADUATED FROM LA CHAMBRE SYNDICALE DE LA COUTURE PARISIENNE, CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL BEGAN HIS CAREER IN PARIS WITH JOHN GALLIANO AT CHRISTIAN DIOR COUTURE AND LATER AT THE ATELIER FLOU OF EMANUEL UNGARO BEFORE WORKING AS THE ASSISTANT FOR DELPHINE MURAT. HE LATER MOVED BACK TO COPENHAGEN TO WORK FOR ICCOMPANYS.
WHILE STILL FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF A BLEND OF DESIGN, CLASSIC TAILORING AND THE RULES OF HAUTE COUTURE, THE LAUNCH HAS ALSO INVOLVED A DRAMATIC, UNCOMPROMISING TURN TO MODERNITY.
STRIVING FOR AN IDEA OF LUXURY THAT WOULD NOT BE CONFINED TO MORE FORMALISM, BUT RATHER ENTAIL A RESOLUTE QUEST FOR PERFECTION AND CREATIVITY IN DETAIL AND FINISHING.
DISCRETION IS AN HONOURABLE CAUSE FOR CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL AND THEREFORE HE ENJOYS PORTRAYING THE CARACTERS AS PARTICIPANTS IN THE CIRCUS OF HIS OWN LIFE.THE BRAND
ESTABLISHED IN COPENHAGEN IN 2007, THE BRAND CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL IS THE BRAINCHILD OF HIS LUCID PERFECTION OF THE POTENTIAL OF BLENDING SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN AND CLASSIC EUROPEAN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TAILORING – A CONFLUENCE THAT CRYSTALIZES INTO A POWERFUL CONCEPT.
TARGETING A REFINED, NICHE AUDIENCE, CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL´ S COLLECTION IS ALWAYS PURE WITH AN UNCONVENTIONAL LUXURY FEELING. NEW METHODS OF MOVING DIFFERENTLY ARE FLOURISHING. THE NEW ATTITUDE IS ABOUT FINDING BALANCE, MASCULINITY AND HARMONY IN BOTH FIT AND CUTS.
CHRISTIAN WESTPHAL POSITIONS ITSELF AT THE HIGH END OF THE CONTEMPORARY FASHION MARKET, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS TO SELECTED RETAILERS.
A LOVE FOR LUXURY, A LOVE FOR DETAIL AND A LOVE FOR DISCRETION.
