We Met the Market @ Bios

It was a very cold day (for Athens standards) but that didn't stop people from visiting the first Meet the Market for 2010.

Sunday evening @ Gazi

...and as we were wandering around we came across a photo shoot that caught our attention. The model's fuchsia dress and weird accessories stood out against the grey surroundings. We followed her and were led to Holy Moustache's Stock Sacrifiction at the Interpid Fox. Vintage clothes, shoes, sunglasses, magazines, vinyls, turntables and other surreal items from the seventies-eighties were exhibited either on a pool table or hanging in a large cage, in perfect harmony with the bar's wild rock decoration.
(Holy Stock Sacrifiction: 17-21/01, 14:00-23:00 @ Intrepid FOX Bar, Gazi)

Athenswears visited the event, which turned out to be a big success judging from the number of people who participated and from their enthusiasm!
