The line-up in sketches, taped on split paper bag backstage. Hand-drawn and with fabrics attached, this personal touch makes a difference imo.

And of course catwalk shots:

FWA - day 3, Vassilis Zoulias

"Back in the days when elegance was essential and there was no crisis....women just wanted to look nice, dress up and have fun" the intro of this show's release sets the mood. Crisis aside, women never stopped wanting to dress up and have fun.

And neither has Zoulias' nostaglia for old Athens' fashion falshbacks. As if walking from stylish '60s Greek movies, his models featured his Prêt-à-Porter collection for a/w 10. There's a change: Prêt-à-Porter instead of a cocktail dress galore. Other than that, very Zoulias, very "Old Athens" and very elegant.
Zoulias' show sheets always include an oldschool numbered list of each model 'exit' and brief description of the garments. Nice vintage touch.
Spiros Poros' beautiful wife, model, Kylie Bax.

Among the acknowledgments, special thanks to certain ladies for donating their silk scarves. Another interesting touch: all these newborn clothes and accessories were accompanied by scarves that already have a home and a story, bringing subtle elements of real life on the catwalk and a bit of their owners' essence.
And the clip, featuring parts of the show, calves on stilettos and at some point, Melroy-Sandra's blonde curls.

"In times of crisis we need elegance... and then some more..." was printed on Vassilis Zoulias invite. He gave his answer to recess in beige, black, fucshia and parrot green pencil shaped dresses and exaggerated bows. The show was packed, even though scheduled at 16:30 on a very sunny Saturday afternoon.

Zoulia's closing piece on Kylie Bax, New Zelander special guest.

Guess who. Resting on the very convenient M of Mtv, perfectly sized to fit my proportions. Thank you guys. (dress: Mango, boots: Eley Kishimoto - I know you like references...)

Konstantinos' show at 6... something.

Closing walk.

Detail + pretty face.

Never mind the typo on the invite, Vassilis Zoulias hosted what was by far one of the best fashion shows in Athens Fashion Week.

The invite, printed on lux carton, reflected nicely the character of the designer and the essence of the show: 'pool side'. Not any pool side, but a '60s cocktail party one with models marching down the catwalk to the sounds of The Supremes among others. Well done Mr. Zoulia, it will be more than shoes I'll be checking out from you next season.

>>New Zoulias store opening! October 28, at 30 Akadimias & Likavitou Str. Kolonaki. The one in Kanari Str. will be kept as a 'Bazaar Store' we were kindly informed by the assistants. Great!
