hellenic motor museum

when i paid a visit at hellenic motor museum for this fashion show, i managed to photoshoot more cars than female models of the performance...

Post dedicated to my automotive junkies -and believe me there are quite a  lot around here- don't forget that i used to work for the number one automotive industry, when living abroad..

delighted

what's better for a friday night than finding yourself in delight's studio, chatting on a balcony with an Acropolis view, with two multitalented supercool girls? Dafni Iliaki and Evi Retziou are the minds behind greek brand Delight. Admiration and respect. Not only because they do a brilliant job with their collections, making them better and better every season, but also because they have no sense of egoism (and that's actually how the team work stands out). During the daylight, they both work @ vimadonna magazine, and that speaks to me as two hard-working and down-to-earth women, who are chasing their dream (or better -they live their dream).
Both girls started their academic lives with economics, but then soon understood that they were made for clothing industry, so that they could translate their creative intelligence.
p.s. more coffees and beers are yet to come inevitably -Dafni is my neighbor (we actually can see each other from our windows, just across the street) and not to mention we are school alumni.

Scroll down to taste them, their work, their bloody cool studio, and myself being delighted.

p.s. Delight designed the uniforms for Onassis Cultural Centre. Awsomness.

More delight here, here, here, here and here.

700 people swapped and not shopped!

Yesterday, firstling, Thalia, Viviana and Sandra, successfully organized the Swap not shop - an even more ethical version! And magistrate for their success... the amazing result at the end of the night and the 'carpeting' of 700 people!

Strewth! How great such an effort can be? These girls innovated and were able to pass the message of re-using importance to thousands of athenians - and not only! My deepest congrats to these three wonderful ladies and to everyone who gave his presence and swapped the countless fashionable used (and for that - even more charming) 'delicious' style viands!! Each piece that was found in 6 D.O.G.S. yesterday, had a history... and by choosing it, it's getting a new life, and you're getting new -ethical- credits!

For those who didn't make it to swap, find feedback on swishing.gr, or check out the Swap not shop beautiful photos of fellow bloggers Aleccarox and fashion algorithms, who already posted about it (and i'm sure many more will follow, so stay tuned).

an obsession

Obsessed with the brand i can't find in Athens Bess.

fashion dictionary

All right! at first i was more like...'This blog is for everyone who loves the little ordinary fashion things of every day life.. a baby with two different red shoes cries on a ferry going to skopelos, a woman in black scarf and leather flat vintage boots is eating alone in a small restaurant in Volterra, a man in old stinky dark clothes or no clothes at all is digging garbage in Paris. It looks like a sporty-dressed student is studying in a library in Creteil. The rain doesn't stop in Brussels and all fuxia umbrellas are making a statement..and you just arrogantly stare' .., and more of these poetic kind of ordinary images' descriptions.. but
i now i feel more like... 'this blog calls everyone who has never read or seen, or heard, or thought the definition of what is 'cool' in a fashion dictionary.. who thinks that 'art' (in any way art can be) finally means something..for god's shake (!) if you feel like wanna get dressed in front of a mirror and stay there for four hours changing accessories, or dancing, just do it or scream or paint nothing on a wooden door and name it. So yes, i feel like poetry today..
