Named for the Bach flower remedy that heightens trust in your own judgment, Cerato is a boutique that inspires you while you're there and leaves you feeling great about yourself long after you've left. Whatever you walk out with - from a modest necklace to a flirty sundress that begs for attention - you can be sure of a few things. It's not in every store window. It's not walking down every street. It's not her. Or her. Or her.


Anna Fong - Designer
Traditional elegance and sophistication with a fresh perspective is what you will find from Chicago designer Anna Fong. Anna has dazzled the fashion world with her style, earning her many prestigious awards.



Anna’s Fall and Winter collection is a continued reflection of elegance. The collection at Cerato is sure to make you stand out (in a good fashion model kind of way) this season. Her dresses are beautiful and unique, you certainly won't be worried that everyone at this year's holiday party is wearing the same dress as you!


Elise Bergman - Designer
Another amazing Chicago designer to add to our roster! Elise Bergman launched her eponymous label in July 2006 with a rack full of handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces that sold out almost immediately after she opened the doors to her small, seasonal boutique in Lakeside, Michigan. She soon returned to her native Chicago and graced the runways of Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion in 2008 and has been taking off ever since!
Elise's Fall Collection is beautiful, sexy, wearable and a limited edition! Each pieces is handmade (yes, Elise still has a hand in every item she ships) with the highest quality construction and materials. She designs multi-functional pieces that are classic and elegant with a sustainable, feminine and youthful twist. We welcome her to Cerato...come see these amazing pieces before they are gone (remember they are limited edition)!


Sophia Reyes - Designer
Designer Sophia Karen Reyes studied at Parsons School of Design in New York and at Loyola University Chicago in Illinois. Her work is a reflection of her affinity for smart design, love of art, and prolific imagination.
Sophia, an Illinois native, developed her interest in fashion design when she traded her Legos and Matchbox cars (she was not the Barbie type) for an abandoned sewing machine in her parents' attic. She spent her childhood experimenting with commercial patterns and taking classes at the local fabric store with women 4 to 5 times her age. When her fascination with all aspects of fashion design pursued her at Loyola, Sophia knew fashion design was not just a hobby, it was her calling. After graduating from Loyola University with a B.B.A in finance, Sophia moved to New York to attend Parsons and to work in the fashion industry.
sophia reyes has been featured in publications such as Lucky Magazine and New York Daily News. In 2008, sophia reyes was named one of Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion.


Kristin Hassan - Designer
We are so excited to be one of the first boutiques to feature the amazing namesake collection from Chicago's own Kristin Hassan AND carry her Fall collection exclusively here at Cerato! She has already been apart of the Chicago Fashion Incubator and GenArt's Fresh Faces Runway show (not to mention an appearance on Bravo's hit reality series The Fashion Show) and showing in this year's Fashion Focus events. Kristin’s line is catching on fast, and you'll be so excited to tell everyone you were one of the first to wear an amazing Kristin Hassan piece from Cerato.
Her Fall and Winter collection continue her vision of having colors, flirty silhouettes, ruffles and bows a must in your wardrobe. We all love black, but you'll definitely want a pop of color to brighten up your wardrobe this Fall. Kristin’s pieces aren't just beautiful and fun, they're easy to throw on - making you look and feel simply fabulous!


Christina Fan - Designer
From basic to beyond beautiful. Christina Fan continues to design the most amazing basics you'll ever try on (we seriously have a hard time keeping them in stock) AND the most beautiful silk pieces in her new Fall Collection available at Cerato. Christina launched her line in 2008 and is currently a 2010 CFI Designer in Residence that will be featured on the runway during this year's Fashion Focus. Her talent is being featured all over Chicago, New York and beyond. You may even see a piece from her collection (yes, we carry it at Cerato) in the November/December issue of People Style Watch! We are so thrilled to not only carry C/FAN basics, but also her absolutely amazing Fall line.
