About Us
The Full Story
Timeless Elegance, Reimagined for the Modern Woman
From Laguna Beach Roots to a National Fashion Experience
Since 1972, Odeon By Kris has been a cornerstone of elegant evening wear. A woman-owned and operated business, our story began in the picturesque coastal town of Laguna Beach and expanded across Orange County, California. For over five decades, we cultivated a reputation as the premier destination for exquisite special occasion attire, serving women in Masonic Organizations and discerning fashion lovers alike.
Our Evolution: A National Hybrid Experience While our physical storefronts in Orange County hold a special place in our history, the world of fashion is evolving, and so are we. Odeon By Kris has transformed into a dynamic national hybrid brand.
Today, we focus on a seamless Ecommerce experience, bringing our curated collections directly to your doorstep, anywhere in the United States. However, we believe in the power of connection. We bridge the gap between digital convenience and personal service through our innovative "Phygital" commerce model and exclusive Pop-Up Shops. This allows us to maintain the high-touch, personalized service we are famous for, while offering the accessibility of a modern digital storefront.
The Collection: Designed for Every Occasion Our passion for fashion is woven into every garment. We take immense pride in designing and manufacturing our own exclusive line, Odeon By Kris, while curating a selection from top industry brands including Odeon, Origami, Adore, Gardy, Alex Apparel, Valentina, Damee, Helen Heart, and IC Collection.
