Marios Schwab has unveiled his first collection for Debenhams.

The Greek-born designer has teamed up with the British department store to create a ready-to-wear line of eight elegant dresses as part of the chain's Edition category, which brings contemporary designers to a broader audience.

Marios said: ''It has been a great experience to introduce elements of the DNA of my label to a wider range of women, taking inspirations from signature pieces of my collections and adapting them in to a product for a customer who is confident and knows exactly what she is looking for in her wardrobe.

''I wanted to introduce her and challenge her with a capsule range that incorporates my vision for the perfect dresses for all occasions.''

Marios' collection is true to his signature feminine style and the versatile dresses can be worn both day and night.

The figure-flattering dresses boast embellished details like sheer panelling, cut-out perforated leather and silver studs.

The London-based designer is set to launch three further collections with the high street chain.

Marios follows in the footsteps of Preen, Jonathan Saunders and Roksanda Ilincic who have all created ranges for the brand.

Prices start at £95.
