Renowned Cyprus fashion designer Elena Strongyliotou unveils her Special Occasion Collection 2026, a sophisticated couture proposal created for weddings, christenings, graduations, gala evenings and special milestone events.
The new collection redefines modern occasionwear through sculptural silhouettes, architectural lines and three-dimensional draping. With a strong focus on structure and precision tailoring, Elena Strongyliotou highlights refined femininity through clean construction, balanced proportions and fluid movement.
Inspired by the power of textiles and the individuality of the women who wear her creations, the designer introduces dresses that combine volume, depth and elegance.
Sculptural forms contour the body with clarity, while draped constructions create natural shadowing and dynamic curves that evolve gracefully with every step.
High-neck (polo neck) designs convey minimalist sophistication and elongate the silhouette, while open-back creations introduce subtle sensuality through a refined interplay of structure and exposure.
The collection explores length as a form of personal expression, ranging from contemporary mini dresses that radiate confidence to flowing maxi gowns with red-carpet presence. Timeless midi silhouettes complete the collection, balancing classic elegance with modern couture aesthetics.
Fabric plays a central role in defining the identity of the Special Occasion Collection 2026. Metallic lurex brocade fabrics stand out for their luminous texture and embossed woven patterns. Fine French lace creates a delicate dialogue between transparency and structure, while embroidered textiles embellished with beads and Swarovski crystals add dimension, brilliance and couture detail.
Sheer elements and three-dimensional floral fabrics further enhance the collection’s romantic yet contemporary character. The colour palette moves through soft pastel tones, timeless black and vibrant shades, offering versatile options for women seeking distinctive occasionwear for important social events.
Through the Special Occasion Collection 2026, every woman can discover the design that suits her personality — which Elena Strongyliotou will tailor and perfect to her body, enhancing her individuality.
Ideal for weddings, christenings, graduations, formal occasions and special events, the collection’s creations are designed to captivate attention.
Should a woman not find the perfect piece within the collection, Elena Strongyliotou offers bespoke, custom-made designs created exclusively for her.
In addition to the collection pieces, the designer remains devoted to mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom dresses, creating individual custom-made designs tailored to each mother’s style, body type and ideal color palette.
Furthermore, Elena Strongyliotou’s creations pair harmoniously with the brand’s signature sustainable bags, completing a refined and cohesive fashion statement.
