We Met the Market @ Bios

It was a very cold day (for Athens standards) but that didn't stop people from visiting the first Meet the Market for 2010.

We find it easier to remain in style when less clothes are involved but what happens if you have to keep warm? Solution: a cozy purple sweater with geometrical pattern combined with black stretch leggings

playmobil necklace, memoirs of childhood

Ioanna infront of her vintage collection. We loved her eye-catching yellow jacket (which swings well with the blue belt, the black earrings and blouse)

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...

for Spring/Summer 2009

The third international young designers’ tradeshow “Tell a Story” is to take place between the 9th and 12th of October 2008 at K44 (Konstantinoupoleos 44, Gazi).

Young, up and coming designers from all over Greece and Europe will be presenting their collections for S/S-2009.

Tell a Story, is the only tradeshow in Greece that is focusing on the presentation of the work of young designers, aiming to promote it within the Greek market. The range, selected by the organisational team of Tell a Story, reflects a coherent pick of designers with fresh, innovative and in the same time practical designs, always within the context of small qualities and high quality.

Tell a Story’s aim is to grow into a platform of exchange, coexistence and development by inviting every time, more and more young designers, artists, photographers, stylists, journalists and buyers.

This season’s organisation is inviting more designers to participate while following the guidelines of international fashion fairs, meaning that designers will be presenting their work for Spring/Summer 2009.

June Meet the Market at Meli Studio

The Athenswears team had a blast at the recent Meet the Market event which was organized by a collective of artists, designers, djs and independent businesses. Location=Meli Studio, bar & restaurant extraordinaire.
The aim of this monthly event is to encourage street culture and conscious consumerism while showcasing their creations in a market/party format. We saw high quality handmade goods from independent Greek artisans and interesting vintage items while rotating djs spinned cool and funky tunes.
