The Rich Owens employee

i really like what she says about how influenced she is by mens style and how she thinks that it's effortless and that she doesn't have to try very hard! I'm always inspired by people who have their style and stick with that!
Who said that women have to wear only clothes that are designed for them? The only thing you have to do is find what is "designed" to suit you! And that can be a children's bag or a men's jacket as well! Inspiring!

Laura Laine for H&M

OK i admit it! i'm a simple-white-tee-with-a-cool-stamp-on-it addict! It's the simplest way to level up your style when you are bored to dress to impress! You just throw on your jeans and THAT category of a t-shirt and BUM! Everyone starts asking where did you find this cool t-shirt! (I'm telling you-it works!) And most importantly you don't have to consume energy or endless hours of shopping to find these tee's! H&M, Zara, Pull&Bear are luckily among the brands that always have cool simple tees in their collections!

The latest one that i found online is the above one! I only hope that i'll be able to find it also in H&M stores as Laura Laine is one of the illustrators i most adore! (see this post and you'll see what i mean!)

Efharis Fashion Designer

Ok ok ...maybe i don't post as regularly as i did! Busy times for a fashion blogger but I promise i will try doing my best from now on! Furthermore you can't say that i don't keep my word AS today's post is all about another promise i gave 2 months ago (see this post) and as you can see i am a really reliable one!!
Efharis presented her clothes at last Tell-A-Story and i was amazed by her creations! All colorful and with beautiful prints! Clothes that can definitely make your day!

So at last, Efharis was kind enough to do a small Q&A so that you will know her a little better! Enjoy!

1. Efharis, you are one of the most creative young Greek designers, based in Salonika! What made you start creating clothes? What have you studied?

It must have been something magical that entered my mind and made me creative! I have studied in Salonika in a private school, design and history of clothes. My real studies though are all the jobs that i did after graduating.

2 Vivid colors are your trademark! What do colors mean to you? Who are your favourite designers and what inspires you?

Colors are something to play with, they create positive energy! I get inspired by people, items, something that for someone can be useless but for me can be the ultimate inspirational source. My favourite designers are JC de Castelbajac, Ashish, Manish Arora

3. What are the positive aspects of being based in Salonica?

When you do what you most love doing, everything seems positive!

4. You have told me that soon we will be able to buy your creations online! You are going to be one of the few Greek designers who use that method although abroad, e-shopping is quite known! You believe that Greeks use online shopping?

Yes, with internet distance isn't important and everything is easier!

5. You participated in the latest Tell-A-Story. Do you think that this kind of tradeshows must be organized more regularly? Would you present your work at a Fashion Week?

Of course! Tradeshows are useful for all designers! It's a way of presenting your work and also of meeting new people that share the same interests with you!.. And why not about the Fashion Week?

6. What are you plans now?

Keep doing what i'm doing, successfully!

And the last one...
7. If you could steal a famous person's clothes, who would you choose and why?

In that case i would love to turn back the time and sneak inside the closets of many famous persons! I love vintage!

Grace Atelie Deluxe

Does Grace sound familiar? I think it should! Grace was one of the 3 "Tell-A-Story" promises that i gave two months ago (see here) Although i didn't have the chance to visit the store yet, i kept my promise and here is the second post especially made for Grace Atelie'!
I just received some images from the clothes that Grace Atelie Deluxe created for the christmas period! Oh yes Christmas is ACTUALLY in 50 days!!!! (if you've seen the Jumbo ad, you experienced already the christmas frenzy)
My personal favourite from the Xmas collection is the black jumpsuit!Really cute and elegant, don't you think?

the chanel bag

the construction of a chanel bag is one of the most fascinating things to watch! And as i see those sewing machines creating miracles...here i am-actually knowing few more things about these super sewing machines!!!
As i mentioned in some older post, i've started a seminar named "creative things to wear" few weeks ago! Yesterday was the day that for the first time i sat in front of a sewing machine-frightened about the result- and i actually sew something that looked like a belt! Although i'm still an amateur, i have to say that having learned how a sewing machine works,it feels like i'm in the start of creating all sorts of clothing all by my self!

CALL ME EXCITED....but THAT'S WHAT I AM!!!

THEIA

Another Fashion Week is taking place these days! Athens Xclusive Designers Week or as called AXDW!...Fellow bloggers AleccaRox, FashionPaths and FashionArchitect have already posted photos from various shows. On the other hand, i'm not quite open to seeing everything that is shown (aesthetic stubborness is my thing) so i chose to watch and take pics of only one runway that was held yesterday and that i was sure from the beggining that would make me smile! Also for the first time ever, i had a press pass as i now work officially for ErmouMag site and i had the first-row experience with celebrities dressed up in Theia all around me!!

THEIA (aunt in english) is Theodora Provopoulou. Yesterday she presented her first official collection but was quite known even before that, more importantly for her famous corsets and old fashion robe-dresses that has created in the past! I have to say that i enjoyed every minute of this show! As all viewers were searching for their sits, a model dressed in an old fashioned bathing suit, sat on a towel and started reading a magazine in the middle of the runway preparing all guests for what was about to begin! Music started and careless models came out dancing and sending kisses to the cameras and viewers! Corsets once again was the main attraction but pastel-colored dresses proved that THEIA can present a complete collection that is well-themed, well-organized and well-presented!

Of course, with clothes like that Theodora couldn't be bad dressed and after the show ended she posed for all photographers in her black and white dress and amazing hairstyle that stole my heart!

you can find THEIA clothes at Ippokratous 66 (+30 210 3600 449) and more info at www.theialab.com
