AXDW - THEIA

S
The news from AXDW keep getting better. The first show of the day was that of THEIA, characterised as "retro-futuristic" in AXDW's notes. First time I came across THEIA and her work was at a Tell a Story exhibition a couple of seasons ago and I was overwhelmed by the wonderful corsets she had on display. They were all hanging like colourful pieces of art, ready to transform any body shape into a sensational hourglass. She had recently returned to Greece from Barcelona and was eager to make old-school fine and constructed tailoring popular to the Greek audience. It was much more than that she achieved tonight and her debut was a show nobody wanted to end.

Scattered oversized fruits and an ice-cream were placed on the runaway. The sound of waves and seagal calls was travelling across the room from the speakers. A model was lying half way, simulating careless sunbathing whilst the guests were taking their places. Once everybody was sitted, she packed her towel and retro Gynaika magazine and disappeared backstage. The show was about to begin...







Sixties glamour, curved figures and bright colours in fruity hues of vanilla, strawberry, banana and pistachio marked this cheerful show with exciting stage direction and the merry atmosphere of a playful summer. Well prepared styling, class stitching and excellent catwalk direction. THEIA, welcome aboard!

Beautiful front rowers, all in THEIA.

A vintage swimming cap turned into a bag (also featured in the show).

The person responsible for that, Martha Yannakopoulou of if-untitled architects. An architect by profession yet an accessories designer at heart.
