The Designer
Designer . Winnie Chlomin
Like the collections she designs, Winnie Chlomin, the co-founder and chief designer of Winnie Couture, is graceful, sophisticated, and exquisite. Currently resides in Los Angeles, California, Winnie was born and raised in Hong Kong, she came to US at the age of fifteen. With an inherent sense of style, Winnie knew at a young age that she wanted to design, putting her artistic hands on anything related to art - from sketching designs to crafting models. A tough perfectionist, she would rip apart seams or remake the whole piece at the last minute of completion. Winnie attended the school of Architecture in Houston, and upon graduation, she found and married her lifetime partner, Chris. It is her husband, whose family has been manufacturing bridal gowns for over twenty years, that lead her to the world of bridal and dressmaking.
Through a combination of talent, dedication and ambition, she has managed to achieve success when most are still finding their way. In the nearly ten years since the debut of Winnie Couture, the label has come to epitomize "classic-feminine" bridal fashion. Each collection presents flattering and timeless pieces for the modern woman who simply loves to be the most gorgeous bride in the world. With her favors and focuses on delicate vintage embellishments and intricate tailoring, Winnie's designs quickly became known for their immaculate craftwork and impeccable fit. Over the years, her exquisitely detailed ball gowns, romantically embroidered veils and the sexy, luxurious silk destination gowns have become the most sought after pieces from New York to California, Europe and Asia.
