Hellenic Fashion Week Winter 07/08

What are the Greek designers suggesting for this winter?
We visited the catwalks at Zappeion to check out the new trends

(Diners Athens Collections InStyle).

@ Celia D by Celia Dragoumis
50s femininity is still a strong influence.

Crochet and embroidery still embelish the more structural and masculine shapes.

@Mario Lefranc-Beatrice Ferrant
Updated plaid & geometric patterns make these womanly shapely dresses fresh and modern.

WOW! tulle explosion with an industrial twist.

Country tweed and Emma Peel boots, texture and shine, such a cool combo.

A modest bust and a stunning back make for a sexy and funky evening dress.

More romantic and slightly eccentric creations for eveningwear.

@Smaragdi Herheletzaki

Never has knitwear been so NOT granny wear :) Where Frida Kalho meets Bjorg.

@Costas Faliacos
Bubble dresses get fluid.

the New Young Designers; International Tradeshow
On a freezing Saturday morning we strolled down to Psyrri area to visit Occhi, a concept store that had invited a few designers, local and international to showcase their new collections. We were impressed by their imaginative, colorful and functional spring suggestions.


Matalou@home
Each season, Matalou chooses a story to tell through her accessories. For this spring she was inspired by the all the student riots that have been going on and so “L’Enfant Saboteur” was born. Her wallets, bags and wristbands come in a variety of colors and shapes and they are truly very functional and uber cool.

These colorful functional bags by Portuguese designers KRVKURVA weight 40 grams but can hold up to 50 kilos of stuff. Impressive!

the perfect bag to pass airport security checks, by Dutch designers Vlieger & Vandam.




Elena from "two in a gondola" was inspired by a piece of fabric she found and so her new collection is what she calls “a walk in the countryside” with an 80’s sense of humor. Colorful, pattern skirts, shirts and shorts with a touch of nostalgia.


The Mother of all skirts :) Luxe and feminine, fashionably bubbly and with a large functional pocket for ipod and lipgloss.

A modern take on the oriental theme of arabian nights slippers.

How a piece of fabric can easily turn into a skirt by Blanket Lo. A truly multifaceted garment.
