Ruth Erotokritou

Ruth Erotokritou Knitwear was set up in the year 2000 by Ruth Erotokritou.  A graduate of Central St. Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, where she received the Queen’s Scholarship Award and graduated with a first class honours degree specialising in Knitted Textiles.  Upon leaving St. Martins Ruth focused on designing Knitted Fabrics for a number of Big Fashion Houses, including Ralph Lauren, Givenchy and Lacroix among others.  After gaining the necessary experience, she then went on to create her own Knitted Accessory Collection, consisting of Wraps, Scarves and Shawls which were sold exclusively in Harrods, Selfridges and Liberty among other UK stockists. 

In the year 2003, she proceeded and set up the ready to wear line, launching Ruth Erotokritou Womenswear. The collection consists of ready-to-wear for both daywear and eveningwear, shapes are loose yet feminine, comfortable yet light and highlighted by shimmering lurex threads, knitted with the finest Italian yarns.  All fabrics are designed exclusively by Ruth Erotokritou and knitted in house.  Asymmetric wrap tops and dresses make an appearance in the Collection accented by the focus of the collection – stripes – featured strongly in the womenswear, juxtaposing bright and muted colours with soft and silky knits.  The Collection is stocked world-wide from Saudi-Arabia to Canada, Italy and Greece among others.  Closer to home she retails out of independent boutiques such a Zibba, Piajeh and Cubana.
