Fashion Week Athens day 3

Oh Lord, I really suffer from a fashion overdose! Combine that with work all day and not enough sleep, and you have a recipe for bad blogging. Ok, before the news get really old, here are my pictures from the third and final day of Fashion Week Athens.

Angelos Bratis
Sorry, only one picture from Angelos Bratis' show. I arrived too late and only saw half of it.

Yiorgos Eleftheriades
I loved it! Eleftheriades totally show us how stripes combined with prints can be done. Extra bonus points for the choice of colour palette, amazing shoes and sleek menswear.











Parthenis
Orsalia Parthenis showed a collection bursting with feminine confidence. Loved the sleek lines, the turban-like hair ties (very Prada) and the rich colour palette. Note the models walked in extra chic ballerina flats, made of crushed velvet in grenat and royal blue.





Dimitris Dassios
An accessories and jewllery designer who could actually do clothes as well. Very oriental, magical and inspired collection of jackets made out of vintage leather, velvet and denim, embroidered with gold thread, as well as jewllery and headdresses. Models marched barefoot under the sound of "Le temps des gitans" by Goran Bregovic.







I also have pictures of the NEWCOMERS trio, but this post is getting a bit too long.
Forgive me if I post them tomorrow?

Athens Fashion Week: Parthenis

Orsalia Parthenis, the woman behind the brand, is the one of the most promising greek designers that showed last week. I would wear almost anything from her collection with great joy - minus the price tag of course. The color palette was the epitome of summer shic: light blue, navy, white, cream and pale yellow and all the fabrics looked so lightweight they could fly away on their own. I also wish I had shot a video from the show, so you could also see the way those hair bounced as the models strutted on the catwalk, like a summer breeze was going through it. Made me miss summer!
