every time i lose myself in the small roads around Plaka i always remember to pay a visit at Ioanna Kourbela's showroom! Last time i did that i was pleased to find out that her new line was accompanied by an amazing photo shoot! Not many Greek designers take seriously the photos presenting their new collections and that's why i was so happy to see that Kourbela's catalog not simply presented the new line but also was artistic enough to make me ask for it when i entered the shop! The girl there told me that i can see the clothes also on the site (something that i already had done) but i wanted so badly to have the catalog that i almost begged for it!
Seriously i'm so excited about the work Ioanna Kourbela, photographer Michalis Kloukinas, hair and make up stylist Manos Agrimakis and artwork designer ChrisTrivizas have done that the catalog now has a place next to all the fashion books on my library.
And of course the clothes that Ioanna Kourbela designs are so greek-spirited that i find the spot of their store ideal! The address of the retail store is: 109 Adrianou str.& 12 Hatzimihali str at Plaka and you can also visit the show room at 12 Hatzimihali str.,Plaka.
Oh I ve been visiting the store for years, i like her clothes so much- They have an ancient-greek style and are so futuristic at the same time, as you can wear them in many different ways!!!Nice post!
ReplyDeleteHow come you both of you (Hari K and *Constance) knew about her already and I've ever heard of her before?!! I feel so left out... Seriously now, her work is amazing, I really should visit her soon. Thanks for posting!!!!
ReplyDelete@lopi you should go! at retail shop's -1 floor they have cute offers right now and also the show room is beautifully put together!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with her work! glad you heard her from me first! =)
@constance thanks girl! she is one of my favourites so it was about time to mention her!
Amazing work indeed. I HAVE to visit the showroom! Thanks for introducing her to us!
ReplyDeletewow. this is a fantastic collection. if this is available online, i'm buying them out of stock.
ReplyDeleteCHECKED. can't. sad. :-(
ReplyDeleteI jussstttt randomly fell upon the show room (and her collection overall) and instantly became obsessed! it was one of those days where i figured that a simple walk through plaka would calm me down and not only did it calm me down but it made me very very happy! also the retail girl was extremely helpful! great experience
ReplyDeleteBought 2 of the knitware multi function long sleeve cable knit sweaters in Rhoades about 3 years ago. Got home was never able to wrap/tie correctly. Is there anyone who would remember this item, bought 2 , one in white and also in metallic pewter. Was available in many colors. Would love to get the instructions for wrapping or would anyone want to buy them. Really pretty but can't wear.
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in purchasing the wraps from you (Post of 15 May, 2011). How can I contact you?

ReplyDeleteShows how to wrap sweater
Dear Anonymous unfortunately I cannot help you with how to wrap your sweater, I hope that the last youtube link is helpful enough and don't forget that you can always contact directly the designer!
