Tell a Story
3rd International Young Designers’ Tradeshow
buyers only

9-12 October 2008

at K44

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.

Young Designers International Trade Show at K44

For the second time, the Young Designers International Trade show was held at K44 , an alternative exibition and bar space inKeramikos and lasted 4 days.
Designers presented their summer 2008 and winter 2008-9 collections and welcomed the trade from all around Greece who met the designers and placed orders. This is one of the few events held annually in support of the individual work of independent designers and hopefully will flourish in the coming seasons. This show is the brainchild of Anna Polydorou the owner of Gallery Occhi. http://www.occhi.biz
