Biography

  Edit
Despite a childhood ambition to be a ballet dancer, Marios Schwab is the London-based designer of a fashion label known for its unique interpretations of natural forms. His spring/summer 2008 collection was based around reflecting the inner structure of a garment on the outside, and defined him as one of London's most exciting designers - a position he continues to hold. Schwab's dresses have been worn by Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue, Chloe Sevigny, Thandie Newton and Clemence Poesy.

Schwab's designs are sold all over the world, in shops ranging from Dover Street Market, Harvey Nichols and Browns in London, to Maria Luisa in Paris and Barneys in New York.
