I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live and work in Athens creating clothing that is mostly inspired by images and music from the 50s and 60s.All of the pieces that i make are hand made and one of a kind. Unique and distinctive.I like to use various techniques such as:collage,printing on materials,cut-ups and mix and match.Another source of inspiration are my friends,people i hang out with and also people that contact me having purchased clothing that i have made. I begin each piece as an adventure,from the concept ,to the materials used,to the way i work with the materials. I like to believe that chance is one of the most creative of forces and if i surprise myself,then i will surprise the person wearing my clothing. I want it to be fun and useful but also constantly changing as does the mood and emotions of the people wearing my clothes. Opposites attract and create surprises. therefore:cruel candyYou can find my clothing at:Ropa Lavada,Solonos 42/Klip,Perikleous 56,Holargos/Frock n Roll,Varnali 4A,Haladri/Daktilithra,Aigina/Buy me,Periandrou 1,Korinthos
