Antik Batik
French design team Christophe Sauvat and Gabriella Cortese are behind the amazing success of fashion designer label Antik
Batik. After having travelled the world’s five continents, the two designers were so inspired that, in 1992, they created their own
label of elegantly free-spirited clothing pieces. Their exotic line, which mixed together the vivid colours and lavish embellishments
of Africa, India and the American Southwest, amongst others, was a very big success.
In 1999, Christophe Sauvat and Gabriella Cortese finally opened their first Paris boutique. Other shops soon followed afterwards,
from Cannes and Saint-Tropez to Tokyo. Folkloric and ethnic notes are woven throughout their collections with colors and prints piled on to
create kaleidoscopic effects. Intricate embroideries that have a hand-finished look give pieces their unique vibe; and key detailing such
as flowered appliqués and ethnic-inspired motifs lend a certain boho-‘60s eclecticism to their style.
Antik Batik are well known for their exotic chiffon kaftans, signature embroidered kurta tops, graphic print jersey dresses, and sparkling
sequined belts.
If you like romance and exotic escapism, you can definitely get yourself into the more "global" spirit of fashion that the designers at Antik
Batik have created.
Antik Batik clothing is most popular amongst celebrities such as Vanessa Paradis, Monica Bellucci and Uma Thurman.
