About us

Chotronette is a design duo comprised of Silvia Chiteala and Laura Cazacu, based in Iasi, Romania.

For us, fashion is just one of the worlds we inhabit—our true playground is the realm of fantasy, photography, and storytelling. Every dress is a portal to a different universe, every photoshoot a carefully curated dreamscape. Our muses? The seemingly perfect 1950s housewife with a dark secret, the slavic princess with a penchant for mischief, the Audrey Hepburn ingénue rewriting the rules, the gothic Tim Burton heroine, and the Mexican Lolita with a rebellious heart.

We design not just clothing but characters, each dress a page from an unwritten fairytale. In the Chotronette world, fashion isn’t about trends—it’s about creating living, breathing art that transcends time and expectations.

Our vision has been featured in Vogue Britain, Vogue Italy, Playboy, Rock’n’Roll Bride, Conde Nast Brides, and Fashion TV, among many others. We’ve had the honor of collaborating with some of the most visionary artists, photographers, and dreamers—and we’re always searching for kindred spirits who share our passion for bold, unconventional beauty.

Dresses for the outcasts, the misfits, the lovable freaks.

For those who refuse to blend in—who wear their stories, their dreams, and their beautifully chaotic hearts on their sleeves.

We don’t just make dresses—we conjure wearable dreams, stitched together with whimsy, drama, and a touch of rebellion. Each gown is meticulously handcrafted, blending sumptuous fabrics, delicate embroidery, and couture craftsmanship to create something truly one-of-a-kind.

Unlike mass-produced fashion, our creations breathe artistry. Every bespoke dress is a statement of uncompromising beauty, designed for those who write their own fairytales rather than follow the script. By keeping our production in-house, we ensure that every piece is infused with the care and magic it deserves.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us—it’s woven into the essence of what we do. We choose our materials thoughtfully, embracing slow fashion to create ethical couture pieces that are meant to be cherished for a lifetime.

Chotronette is where romance meets rebellion, where a dress isn’t just something you wear—it’s a portal to another world. Whether you’re slipping into a theatrical ballgown, a poetic wedding dress, or a gown that belongs in an artist’s daydream, know this: you’re about to become a living work of art.
