Well done Mr Perakis!!!

Not only you get it, but you take it and shake it and make it an amazing movie,
so reminishent of the moments spent last summer, during the time the film was shot,
that we felt that we were about to pop on screen ourselves.

Without a doubt a docufiction film not to be missed, about modern Athens and its humble superstars.

Moments like these make me so so happy to be back in Athens, with its myriads of wonderful adventures and busts of raw and infinite emotion.
Cant wait for the summer to come again!

Ilia Darlin

Greek upcoming pop diva Ilia Darlin, arrived a few days ago to promote her upcoming movie Art Therapy by Greek director Nikos Perakis and asked me to style and design her outfits. I am so pleased with the result, she is one hot bomb shell as it is, so made the job super fun.

Grande Dame

I’ve told you before how much i love that place. haven’t i?

A baby size stylish champagne bar in Persephones 23 Gazi, is the perfect place for intimate rendez-vous, although i would avoid going there on a weekend, as there might be fear of getting your new kitten print satin miu miu clogs (i wish!) stepped on. And we wouldnt want that now, would we?

Besotted with the cheeky artwork and the champagne and strawberry shots. Need to revisit pronto

Went to Bernier-Eliades gallery yesterday, for Justin Lieberman solo show, where a mishmatch of found objects combined with humorous text written in biro, on various children’s party debris, cute little wax creature sculptures with a few dark and sinister installation pieces thrown in for good measure, set the background for a lovely evening outing.

London town: finale

by mariaflora in Uncategorized

The Christopher Kane aftershow party at the secter garden in Shoreditch house…
Ah the funtimes, this was, by far the best evening of my trip to London.
So many highlights, Tammy looked incredible, Louise arrived late and had to be snuck in by the back door, after we had drunk the bar dry, Barry appeared with an espresso martini for me (!), so many of my friends that i miss were there, all looking a million dollars.

Thank you Tammy and Christopher! Cant wait to see the new Versus and welcome Christopher as a guest blogger in Miss Athenes!!!!!

Christopher Kane AW10

by mariaflora in Uncategorized

needless to say how obsessively good Christopher and Tammy’s show was.

They’ve sent out a perveted elfin girl, decked out in black patent leather and lace (oh Christopher.. when you do lace you make my world complete. And right. And beautiful.) embroidered in Women’s intsitute craftwork motifs, and catholic beadwork, gothic and futuristic in a new way. It seems this girl belongs to the future but cherishes her heritage.

There are about 100 things i liked about the show, but if i had to choose i would say the following looks were my favorite

00010m 00060m 00130m 00140m 00280m 00560m
I dare you to try and live without the embroidered Johnstons cashmere cape sleeve jumper and jeweled boot. Go on. Try to imagine your life without them, i CANT!
i will dream of my life in one of those dresses and imagine a party night out in that biker jacket. Only then will life be complete and wonderful, i will save up, borrow and beg Tammy for mercy and use all means necessary to dance in one of them babies till death do us part and they become part of my future children’s heritage.
To answer your questions, yes, i loved loved loved the show. Christopher once again failed to let us down with a collection better than all the previous.
But then again , he always does and as i have been lucky to have worked with the Kanes, i know how personal and well made it always is.
Well done to the CK girls as well, ladies you have all excelled yourselves once again , i miss you all so much and envy you deeply for being part of this grandeur.
Loved the hair by Paul Hanlon at Julian Watson Agency and the TIGI International Creative Team using TIGI/CATWALK
and the makeup by Lucia Pieroni @ Streeters and the M•A•C PRO team and deep deep lust for the shoes by Giuseppe Zannotti for Christopher Kane.
This was another one, of those moments engraved in fashion history and out hearts.

I had a seat next to the boys and when Naomi, P. Green, Carine and Julia took their seats, we were buzzing with gossip exitment. Naomi looked beautiful and ageless, bless her.

Now off to the afterparty woo hooo!!!!!!!!!!

London town: part five

Roisin Murphy performed at the Linda Farrow vintage party to celebrate their collaboration. It was at Aura this tiny member’s bar and got mobbed almost straight away. Yasmina was djing again in a silver sequin dress, great minds think alike hey?

Dream boat Andres and Giles- how adorable do they look, bless you boys, you will always hold a piece of my heart.

London town: part four

by mariaflora in Uncategorized

After the Ann- Sophie we snuck in the J. Maskrey ON/OFF show.

DSC01205 DSC01201

Not so sure about that one. Whoever really knows me , they do understand my deep and profound love for all things glitter and swarovski, but honestly body jewelry? and if so, was that extravagant tranny styling so necessary? Anyways that was just my opinion, there was a front row crowd of various flamboyant characters that seemed to love it.

DSC01199

The show was followed by the ON/OFF party in the same venue and my friend Jasmina Dexter, princess of the dark was DJing

DSC01210 DSC01211

She did that life size gorgeous deer instalation as well on the entrance, so so beautiful and the smoke like paper shapes looked like bits of spine and bones. Yes the idea of getting Nikos to grab and run out with it did cross my mind, thank you very much!

Neneh Cherry (!) was meant to perform but alas canceled at the last minute, only to be replaced by the -yawn- sugarbabes.

Run into beautiful Grace as well and her mate Patricia who had the most amazing midnight lace dress on

Aww you girls make me miss London and its dreamy darkness..
