CHRISTOPHER ESBER Women's Clothing

Christopher Esber's clothing is all about structured fits with a distinctive 21st-century slant. The Sydney-based creator founded his namesake brand in 2010 and quickly gained worldwide prominence thanks to his eclectic creations. With detailing kept to a minimum, the focus is firmly placed on the cut of the clothes. Esber's pieces celebrate the female form through one-shoulder designs, open midriffs and keyhole accents.

Unusual pairings often make winning combinations, and this rings true when it comes to Christopher Esber dresses. These party-ready styles have the familiar elements of evening gowns - think sinuous silhouettes, billowing skirts and voluminous drapes of fabric. But their unconventional enhancements, such as lace-up sides and skin-revealing cut-outs, give them the 'undone' quality the label is so well known for.

Designer Christopher Esber has a knack for taking everyday garments and transforming them into investment-worthy classics. Take his shirts as an example. They're expertly crafted from breathable fabrics and finished with traditional spread collars and button cuffs. As Creative Director, Esber introduces unorthodox details from contrasting crochet panels to gathered or elasticated trims that add a sense of drama. The restrained palette reflects the founder's minimalist ethos. You'll find that monochromes, warm mustards and shades of neutral beige dominate the range.
