PETAR Petrov founded his eponymous womenswear brand in Vienna in 2009 creating a dynamic, elegant aesthetic that fuses feminine fluidity with precise tailoring.
“A concept of luxury that can be summarized in a few words does not exist for me. Of course, the finest fabrics and leathers, colours and materials create the products 'value', but I try to design with my personal idea of a modern woman in mind. I learn from my clients and what they share is independence, individuality and a taste for the unexpected.”
Petrov has attracted clientele including Caroline de Maigret, Sofia Sanchez de Betak, Sarah Harris of Vogue UK, Eva Chen and Hilary Tsui.
