With a 30-year background in dress design, Kobus, originally designed couture evening gowns and started Anna Georgia, in ode to his mother’s dress designing company; with a burning desire for haute couture designed fashion gowns accessible to be more accessible to brides.

Anna Georgina, gowns are handcrafted with extreme attention to detail. Playing between masculine and female elements, full skirts contrast with fine boning and signature corsetry. Seamstresses create each gown over many weeks with hand-excuted techniques. Silhouettes vary from deep romantic necklines and sensual back plunges. Anna Georgina searches the world for only the finest textures of silk dupoin, sheer fabrics, sensuousness of silk charmeuse and the lightness of tulle. A delicate palette of vogue colours throughout from ivory, blush, nude and champagne. The gowns are embellished with finer detailing such as Swarovski crystals, trail pearl buttons, layered skirts of lace, tulle and bejeweled satin.

Can you tell me a bit more about the new collection?

Weddings will always go ahead, regardless of what is happening around us – romance will always trump everything. The ROMANCE collection is a celebration of this. With smaller, more intimate ceremonies the new normal, it is essential to hold on to some of that old fashioned grandiose, glamour.

What were the main influences when designing it?

Like all our other collections, Romance grew out of the belief that each woman has a beauty that is her own, an essence that deserves recognition. The most underplayed aspects a woman is her inherent power and beauty, often unrecognised by the woman herself – our dresses allow a woman to feel feminine and powerful on one of the most important days of her life. I wanted this collection to embody the journey that a bride experiences. The journey itself, evokes magic and a sense of fantasy, which is brought to life in this collection though our captivation of old-world glamour.
