Originals that continue their story. After more than three decades of creating couture, the time has come to open a part of my archive. Not as a look back into the past, but as an opportunity to give exceptional creations a new life. Every piece in The House Archive was created as an original. Some designs were created for fashion shows, others for important social occasions or as private commissions. They all share the same philosophy – respect for craftsmanship, carefully

V kariéře módního návrháře existují okamžiky, které se nezapomínají. Jedním z nich pro mě bylo, když jsem měla možnost vytvořit model pro Ivu Janžurovou při převzetí Ceny prezidenta Mezinárodního filmového festivalu Karlovy Vary u příležitosti jubilejního 50. ročníku festivalu v roce 2015. Toto prestižní ocenění je udělováno osobnostem, které se mimořádným způsobem zapsaly do historie české i světové kinematografie. Iva Janžurová jej převzala jako uznání za celoživotní uměle

The Petra Kocianová Boutique is more than a traditional online store. It is a place where you can discover original designer dresses and choose the purchasing option that suits you best. The Boutique offers two types of designs: Ready to Ship models are available for immediate dispatch after your order is completed. Made to Order models are individually created after your order is confirmed. Each piece is crafted with exceptional care, and the usual production time is appr

Every woman is unique. That is why there is no single "perfect dress" that suits everyone. The secret to choosing the right dress lies not in the size on the label or the latest fashion trends, but in understanding your body shape and selecting a silhouette that enhances your natural beauty. As a fashion designer, I follow one simple principle with every design: a dress should highlight a woman's greatest features while subtly balancing the areas she prefers to soften. A well

Trends are a natural part of fashion.They appear, evolve, and disappear, bringing inspiration, new perspectives, and energy into a space that might otherwise remain unchanged. And yet — their true meaning is often not where we look for it. What a trend really means A trend is not just a specific cut, color, or material, but a reflection of its time. It responds to the mood of society,

The moment of choosing a wedding dress often feels like a dream — but also like pressure. So many images, opinions, and expectations come together at once that it can become difficult to hear your own voice. And yet, the right dress is never just about how it looks.It is about how it feels — on your body, in your movement, and in your presence. Before you say yes to the dress, it can be helpful to pause and ask yourself a few simple, but essential questions.

Perhaps you are thinking about your wedding dress right now.Perhaps you already have a vision.Or perhaps you simply feel that it should be… somehow different. I would like to tell you one important thing. Your dress does not have to be perfect according to other people’s expectations.It does not have to match what you have seen in photographs.Nor what is “traditionally” expected from a bride. It should reflect you — how you want to feel,how you want to move,and how you wan

A wedding is not just an event. It is an atmosphere, an emotion, a deeply personal expression.The clothing of both the bride and the guests should support this delicate balance — not overpower it. The Bride: When the Dress Aligns with Who You Are A wedding dress should never feel like a costume.It should feel like a natural extension of the woman wearing it.

Thirty years. That is how long I have had the honor of being part of your life stories. As a fashion designer, I have created hundreds—perhaps thousands—of dresses: evening gowns, formal wear, and bridal pieces. Each design was created with one purpose in mind: to highlight your personality and capture a unique moment. Over the years, I have come to realize one important truth—dresses are never just pieces of fabric. They carry emotions, memories, and stories. And that is ex

Luxury is changing. For a long time, it was defined by visibility—by logos, trends, and constant newness. But today, a different kind of value is emerging. This new luxury is quieter, more personal, and far more lasting.

There is a quiet moment before anything begins. A moment when a woman decides she is no longer looking for something ready-made —but something that belongs only to her. Private couture is not about trends, nor urgency.It is a slower, more intentional experience. One that begins with conversation.
