Australian Couturier Steven Khalil to Launch Fragrance, Expand Internationally

SYDNEY — Australian couturier Steven Khalil is in expansion mode, preparing to make a foray into beauty and ramp up his international profile. Next month the Sydney-based eveningwear and bridalwear specialist — who dressed “Modern Family” star Ariel Winter for Sunday’s Emmys in an embellished black and silver halter-neck column with daring double-front split — will unveil his namesake women’s eau de parfum on the new stevenkhalil.com e-boutique and in his flagship in Paddington, Sydney. The 100-ml. fragrance retails for 190 Australian dollars, or $152, and is described by Khalil as a heady floral with top notes of bergamot, tangerine and peach, with a heart of lily of the valley, tuberose, rose, jasmine and neroli and base notes of musk, sandalwood and tonka bean. The release follows last month’s launch of a 26 stockkeeping-unit range of white gold-plated sterling silver and cubic zirconia and pearl jewelry ranging in price from 275 to 1,325 Australian dollars, or $220 to 1,059. “It’s about creating products that are available to girls that if they don’t want to buy a couture gown, they can have a piece of the brand,” said Khalil, whose intricate gowns start at 10,000 Australian dollars, or $7,990, and can reach 100,000 Australian dollars,
