Modern Trousseau Charleston

“The look on a bride’s face when she finds her dress – that is priceless and incredibly rewarding,” says Modern Trousseau designer, Callie Tein. It is this moment that fuels her passion for designing bridal gowns. Callie has been in love with fashion since her childhood in Melbourne, Australia, where her mum’s evening wear was given new life in the fashion shows Callie would put on, modeling the sixties- and seventies-era pieces. Callie marked important life events by the fashion that was associated with them: her first pair of high heels, her prom dress, and of course — her wedding gown. This appreciation for the impact fashion makes on people’s lives led Callie to study at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Upon earning her BA in Fashion Design, she went on to design women’s wear for various Australian companies. Eventually, Callie landed a position designing bridal gowns, where she discovered her distinct talent for creating memorable dresses.
