"Swap not Shop" Xmas edition @ Six D.O.G.S.

"Swap not Shop" is a clothing exchange party, organised by Sandra-Odette, Thalia and Viviana (more info: www.swishing.gr). This time the event took place at the Six D.O.G.S., the new place to be in Athens, a multispace including a bar, a cafe place, a Project space (for exhibitions,one-off events), a Studio Complex (atelier for artists, designers) and a Utility Place (for live gigs, workshops etc). Athenswears visited the event, which turned out to be a big success judging from the number of people who participated and from their enthusiasm!

Christmas is coming..

...so we took a walk in downtown Athens to see what’s happening!
We started with the Meet the Market bazaar, at Technopolis, in the Gazi area. We met a joyful atmosphere and loads of people strolling around and spent the day taking photos in a frenzy. Here’s what we came up with...
