Filep Motwary!

Dear All!
When we started seaching for the designers that we would have in our store, Eugenia and myself were very anxious. We did not know if we found those designers that would fulfil our expectations of the style we wanted to express through our store! When time went by and after several hours searching in showrooms, those expectations have been fulfilled. Filep is definately on of them!!!!!!!!His unique point of view in style, his extra-ordinary shoes, his adorable personality and so many other characteristics, made him one of our favourites designers....
Below we present some images from his winter collection that you can find in our store.
Here is the attached press release:
For our Fall/winter 08/09 collection, we tried to translate the life and work of director/photographer Leni Riefenstahl, the woman who survived throughout different decades, world changes, movements and styles. Her work as well as her personal experiences were the key points for us when putting together what you are about to see.
Maria worked while having the definition for “repeat” as a task. Each of her pieces is a metaphor from a central idea which is solid and individual. The materials this time are only real pearls and chiffon velvet. There is a focus on the BAUHAUS era as well as the period when Leni spent some years in Africa studying the native tribes in the late 1960’s till the end of 1970’s. Mastori is impressed by the effect of the skin when tattooed with a razor blade, a method seen in Leni’s photographs.
Filep focused on Riefenstahl’s silhouette in the 1930’s and 1960’s: Chiffon velvet, satin, tulle and organza proved to be the perfect materials. The shoes are an exaggerated version of what this woman preferred to wear and you can see the exact adoption of the length and her general silhouette outline but also blinks coming directly from her stories.











Thank you Filep.......................

KaterinAlexandraki!

The first time I have ever seen a dress from Katerina Alexandraki, I was totally astonished! It was a hand made dress, very elegant and sexy. When we decided to open London, Katerina was one of the designers I wanted to have in my store. We met in her showroom and I must admit that I was even more surprised by her character. So friendly, so beautiful, so unique personal styling. The night we saw autumn – winter collection 2008, Athens was just about to be covered in snow. I asked Katerina to send me some photos of her collection and I present them below.

Keep up the good job,Katerina!!!



Here are the photos. You can also see our adorable Frankie in them.............

"Mary wants a purple dress"

Dimitris Kaidantzis is the designer behind the firm “Mary wants a purple dress”. I met Dimitris at Katerina’s Alexandrakis showroom and I must admit that I fell in love with his unique clothes immediately! Dimitris designs unique pieces of clothing, which are made once! He wants every woman to feel unique when she wears them. I asked him why did he named his firm like that and he told me that it is a story and it goes like that:

I still remember that girl, running naked through the crowd in a very busy city.
Everybody was looking at her and she is anxious but not because of her nudity though…she seemed as she was looking for something.

And time flows like clouds…

She is away from the city now(still naked)
up to the sky
and down to earth again
with this wonderful smell of hers(like spring).
And the summer comes
and then fall
and winter
and spring again
and there she is finally staying still.
In the center of a big land of violets(purple violets everywhere)
where she lays down
facing the sky
feeling beautiful
as violets are covering her body.

And how wonderful everything is
now that Mary found her dress.


We adore Dimitris!!!!
Here are some photos of his unique clothes
