Anniversary Contest Results!

We are officially late in posting our annual anniversary contest results and we ask for your forgiveness!
But we were extremely busy and had to cover certain events etc which took up some time and then it was Easter, and well, we are Mediterraneans so we love our holidays :)

So, here are the results and the 3 winners who will each receive a goodie bag full of jewelry, clothing and accessories by Greek independent designers!

1st winner Callie Vei from Greece. We were objective in our choice, we promise! She is our first winner because of the quality and originality behind these stylized photos! AND, she is only 16 years old :) check out her work at http://xjukeboxheroinex.deviantart.com/

2nd winner Mary from Brazil ... We loved the papparazzo style concept!

3rd winner Tiiu Aruoja from Esthonia ...The silver lurex leggings in the snow won us over!

Young Designers International Trade Show at K44

For the second time, the Young Designers International Trade show was held at K44 , an alternative exibition and bar space inKeramikos and lasted 4 days.
Designers presented their summer 2008 and winter 2008-9 collections and welcomed the trade from all around Greece who met the designers and placed orders.

Hello fashionistas and bloggers,

After a bit of thought and a request or two, we decided to extend our contest for another month! So you still have time to brush up your stylist skills, point your camera and take some cool fashion pics...of yourself, your friends or anyone walking down the street :)

Go on! We need some spring inspiration from you all!

See below the original contest post for details and prizes ;)

I promise you there will be 3 goodie bags worth the effort

Amsterdam Style

Athenswears visited Amsterdam recently and here are some snapshots that show the vibe of this funky & vivid town.What strikes us as interesting is the fact that although the city has a very laid back and creative vibe, the street style is somewhat classic considering!


Art is everywhere!


















Amsterdam Bag Museum
Antique, vintage and modern designs, all seem current and stylish!

Fashion-A-Fair at Booze

We mentioned this event a while ago, which took place the same time as Athens Fashion Week...
Well here are some images from the event featuring some of the designs and designers :).
There was also a unique happenning with a well thought out performance that was humorous and very theatrical.
