In addition to her Kore collection launch at online retailer ASOS, Sophia Kokosalaki has announced the launch of a bridal and costume jewelry range to be sold exclusively at Net-a-porter.com.
WWD reported January 30 that the London-based Greek creator, whose fans include Chlo Sevigny and Kirsten Dunst, has designed a host of cocktail dresses and bridesmaids' gowns in materials such as tulle and charmeuse for the online boutique, which last week caused a sensation with the launch of Karl Lagerfeld's capsule collection KARL.
Prices begin at ufffd800 ( 957), while complementing jewelry starting at ufffd100 ( 119) has been made by prestigious Greek jeweler Ilias Lalaounis. Both the jewels and the gowns will go on sale February 15.
Fashionistas looking for a more affordable way to get their hands on Kokosalaki's creations can register for alerts concerning the designer's Kore range at ASOS, where prices begin at ufffd60 ( 71) for a jersey T-shirt.
Kokosalaki, who is also creative director for Diesel Black Gold, is launching her Spring 2012 Kore line exclusively at ASOS.
The line's summery lace pieces, which were handcrafted by an all-female team in Sri Lanka as part of designer support initiative ASOS Inc., will hit the site late in March.
Taking a sustainable approach to developing designer collections, ASOS Inc. has previously put together a leather accessories collection with rising Canadian designer Thomas Tait and a jewelry line with the Scottish designer Louise Gray.
