About Yolancris
Yolancris is a Spanish brand specialising in the design and artisanal creation of luxury bridal, evening, and prêt-à-porter dresses. In 2005, sisters Yolanda (1978) and Cristina Pérez (1979) founded Yolancris as a new project, expanding the family business of wedding dresses that their mother, a pioneering, visionary, and entrepreneurial woman, had started in 1985.
This is how Yolanda and Cristina began their journey in the fashion world. Based on observation and experience, they identified an opportunity to disrupt the bridal and haute couture industry by offering handmade designs that challenge traditional norms. From this innovative vision, Yolancris began operations in 2005 with the launch of its first bridal collection, inspired by the boho chic concept. In 2008, the company introduced its first evening wear collection.
Yolancris boasts a team of highly skilled seamstresses and artisans who have been part of the company since its inception. Additionally, they manage a training school, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality, precision, and local production. This craftsmanship takes place in the company’s own workshop in Barcelona. Since mid-2018, the company has also operated a boutique showroom in the city, located at Avenida Diagonal 508, where their clients can view and order all their creations. Yolancris participates in fashion weeks in Paris, New York, and Barcelona, and is present in over 30 countries. In 2019, Yolancris made its debut in Paris with the Opera Prima collection, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s journey to establish itself as a prominent name in haute couture. This inaugural debut marked the beginning of a new chapter in the brand’s history, establishing ties with the prestigious Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
We remain committed to our dedication to producing refined and sophisticated works that reflect the expertise of our artisans. The quality of our facilities, attention to detail, and customisation are reflected in the brand's over 60 collections to date.
In September 2024, Yolancris presented its first collection under the YC prêt-à-porter line at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, marking an unforgettable experience for the Yolancris team, as well as a new opportunity for professional growth and national recognition from the press and public.
“I don’t draw inspiration from anything; I follow my intuition! We are too accustomed to looking outward, but it’s time to embark on a journey inward without fear to discover who we truly are, our true identity,” says Yolanda Pérez, Creative Director of Yolancris.
Collection lines
OPHELIA explores the delicate boundary between nature and craftsmanship, creating a universe where flowers transcend decoration to become the very essence of each garment. Inspired by the fleeting beauty of a garden in full bloom, the collection presents a contemporary vision of femininity—free, poetic, and deeply rooted in the artisanal savoir-faire that defines Yolancris.
Floral prints take center stage, reinterpreted through botanical illustrations, jacquards, embroidery, and three-dimensional appliqués that add depth, texture, and movement. Flowers emerge from the fabric itself, layering organically to create subtle volumes that transform each piece into a living work of art.
Texture is the defining language of the collection. Organza, matte crepe, washed silks, lace, and richly textured fabrics are brought together through layering, pleating, and handcrafted textile techniques. Every surface invites a closer look, revealing the meticulous craftsmanship behind each creation.
The silhouettes balance soft structure with fluid movement. Ethereal gowns coexist with sculptural designs built through layers, petal-like constructions, and refined draping, creating a harmonious dialogue between lightness and volume while naturally enhancing the body's movement.
The colour palette draws inspiration from a garden at sunrise: ivory, soft white, powder pink, butter yellow, delicate greens, lavender, and watercolor blues, punctuated by richer floral tones that evoke blossoms at their peak. The result is a palette that feels both fresh and sophisticated.
With OPHELIA, Yolancris reaffirms its commitment to contemporary craftsmanship, textile innovation, and artisanal excellence. A collection that celebrates the beauty of nature transformed by the hands of the atelier, where every texture, every flower, and every detail tells a story of sensitivity, timeless elegance, and exceptional savoir-faire.
