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. This is one of the few events held annually in support of the individual work of independent designers and hopefully will flourish in the coming seasons. This show is the brainchild of Anna Polydorou the owner of Gallery Occhi. http://www.occhi.biz
