About Yolancris
The Value of Craftsmanship and the joy of Freedom
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
The new prêt-à-porter collection continues the path Yolancris has followed in its most recent runway presentations. A natural evolution of the brand’s universe, where the past serves as a starting point rather than a literal reference.
The inspiration comes from the early years of the 20th century and the hippy spirit, approached from a contemporary perspective. The aim is not to recreate specific aesthetic codes, but to recover a freer, more relaxed way of dressing, adapted to today’s lifestyle.
Lace plays a key role in the collection. It is treated in a light and modern way, integrated into garments designed for everyday wear, adding texture and depth while remaining functional. Far from a nostalgic interpretation, lace becomes a versatile element that works naturally with current silhouettes.
Jackets structure the collection. With soft volumes and balanced proportions, they bring character and presence without rigidity. Designed to work across different looks and moments, they reinforce the idea of a coherent and lasting wardrobe.
Velvet introduces contrast and visual richness. Used selectively in specific pieces, it adds weight and sophistication without excess. Its presence connects with the brand’s artisanal background and a timeless sense of elegance.
The collection maintains a recognizable bohemian spirit, approached with restraint. Movement, fluidity and naturalness are at the core of the proposal, in line with a vision of fashion as honest and personal expression.
The result is a prêt-à-porter collection true to the Yolancris DNA: pieces with identity, created to last and to accompany a conscious, effortless and authentic way of dressing.
