Brokequeens: Designer duo from Athens,Greece. Bold. Vibrant. Imaginative.
Just plain different. See for yourselves.
Their Story So Far: Brokequeens is the creative alter ego of Irini Kiriakopoulou and Ioanna Manoussopoulou. Having paid their dues to some of Greece's major clothing companies, they set their minds to, in the words of Frankie, do it their way. The resulting first collection, in summer 2005, was an instant hit among their friends and relatives, and found its way to the shelves of a number of small stores that kept on ordering more clothes than the two of them could make. Aided by word-of-mouth and a multi-million advertising campaign, their fan base rapidly expanded to include girls who hang out in bars, go to gigs, flock at film festivals, attend art events, and even read books. Consequent summer and winter collections were featured in fashion magazines, spotted on some of the capital's hottest bodies and sold at a frantic pace.
