"My creations are taken from my experiences and sensations, looking into my own illusions." - Christina Crawford.

This British-Brazilian brand believes that no design discipline should be ignored, as there is fascination and inspiration in everything. It only depends on how you look at what exists in our world. It is a journey that seeks to go beyond the conventional creative themes.
The company is based in Milan. Production is focused in Italy, as this gives the product a unique quality and the strong appeal to customers of being a "Made in Italy".

The evolution of this Spring / Summer 2010 comes from the personality of Mariyln Monroe, who represents a style of unique femininity.The collection is called: "I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it" - Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn had an unparalleled glow and energy, an alluring beauty with voluptuous curves and a generous pout, but she was more than a '50s sex goddess. She was a dreamer, she had fantasies.Vulnerable and innocent but with a combination of an innate sensuality and determination. Described as "timeless", a woman that glorifies and idealises the female form. She represents something we all want in our unfulfilled dreams.

This is the image of the woman we want to reach with our collection; and the way we want a woman to feel when wearing the clothes which we design.
"An artistic bubble exists that allows us to push the limits forward and reach for the power of fantasy and escapism. The customer wants to escape from the difficult times of their day to day existence." - Christina Crawford.

With all this in mind Christina Crawford puts forth timeless pieces a little out of the ordinary that idealizes the female form.

Inspirational quotes by Marilyn Monroe for the collection:
"I just want to be wonderful".
"I have too many fantasies to be a housewife......I guess I am a fantasy
"The body is meant to be seen, not to be hidden"
