Cris started her career in fashion, making “made to measure” professional suits for women executives in the film industry. Her business grew into a retail store in Beverly Hills for her exclusive designs and a line of better dresses. Blending her technical and fine arts training with old world traditions – luxurious fabrics, handmade details and superior craftsmanship – she added her modern California lifestyle of humor, fun and the unexpected to create a new line. Her designs were quickly scooped up by major TV shows, stars, celebrities and she built a loyal following. All along, she never forgot what might be considered the most important aspect of any look – the jewels.
