Summer Loading

Το καλοκαίρι είναι πολύυυυ κοντά…

…αλλά στην καρδιά μου έχει ήδη φτάσει εδώ και καιρό!

Γι’ αυτό, το περασμένο Σαββατοκύριακο βάλαμε με την bestie μου σε μια βαλίτσα τα απολύτως απαραίτητα

(δηλαδή, τα #eoutfit μαγιό μας και το donut φουσκωτό στρώμα μας!)

και πήραμε το πλοίο για το αγαπημένο μας νησί.

Μπορείς να μαντέψεις σε ποια παραλία πήγαμε;

80′s Revamp

It’s a real blessing to surround yourself with creative people you love and admire.

Pericles Kondylatos apart from an amazingly talented designer for Statement Jewelry, is probably one of the funniest and most positive & optimistic people we happen to know.

Sincerely, i cannot remember how this insane idea about an 80′s revamp photo shooting started in the first place, but we really had a blast!

Here we go!

We loved each one of them and luckily we had the chance to have a really close glimpse since the shooting took place in his atelier.

Athens X-clusive Designers Week vol.2

As promised.

Our 2nd collection presented at the Athens X-Clusive Designers Week for Spring / Summer 2013, was named “Infinite Love”  and it was a youthful and happy project and we truly enjoyed creating it.

 

1. infinite love

2. flower lady
2a. good people

 

Our main objective was to create a collection that would be fully commercial and complete, including from daily total looks , cocktail dresses , ” statement” t-shirts and swimwear.

 

3. pink flower

3.1. flower crown

3.2. great things

For the “Infinite Love” collection for Spring / Summer 2013, the major source of our inspiration was the music & style icon Lana Del Rey and the pleasant nostalgia and carefree mood of our teenage summers.

It was a pleasantly creative collection that we love and enjoyed very much while creating it.

3.3. lana delrey photo

3.4. lana delrey

3.5. pink roses

4. make up

 

Our main color palette consisted of pastel shades combined with deep and intense blue with a touch floral

 

4a. color palette

 

Moreover, we wanted to give a girlie and humorous touch in terms of the collection’s styling this is why we completed the models’ looks with some retro round sunglasses and floral headpieces.

5. flower girl backstage

6. flower model

7. flowers

8. think positive

10. retro shades

 

We aimed in presenting a “complete” collection that would create pleasant feelings of joy and carefree mood to our audience and clients.

And i think that we made it.

In general terms, we do  follow new trends and trend forecasts, however we want to maintain our own style in each of our collections.

Statement t-shirts for example. YES.

We do love t-shirts.

When it comes to the fabrics, we focused on high quality materials with emphasis on silk , muslin and the soie sauvage.

We love to discover and use fine quality fabrics in order to embrace and flatter the female body, while creating a sense of comfort and femininity.
Some of our favorite fabrics which are always present from our collection is the silk, the muslin, the viscose and the silky transparency.

Athens X-clusive Designers Week vol.1

Today’s post is a creative throwback to our debut collection entitled “The Sovereignty of Shimmer” as presented in the official Athens Exclusive Designers’  Week on March ’12 for F/W 2013.

As it was our very first time on the catwalk as new designers, i have to admit we got really enthusiast about it.

The collection itself was a mixture of 80′s elements and of course loads of glam.

 

To start with, allow us to share with you the definition of the word “shimmer” that actually determined our creative mood.

SHIMMER
[shim-er]

verb:
1. to reflect light with a brilliant, sparkling luster;
2. to shine with strong emotion
3. to be brilliantly attractive, lavish, or spectacular;
4. to make a brilliant show
noun:
1. small pieces of light-reflecting decorative material
2. showy splendour

2. pink hair

 

The collection was inspired by the dynamic modern woman, exuding glamour and spunk.

Elements from the 80′s era – our favorite fashion decade – strongly featured within the collection.

The collection’s garments embodied crystals, cheeky t-shirts, striking shoulder pads and a bold color palette merged with a variety of rich fabrics oozing with glitter.

 

3. 80s hotpants

 

The runway looks were completed with a variety of hand-made shoes by Nortin and jewellery pieces by De.bour,

both designed exclusively for the collection.

 

5. glamour shoes

 

As “Mix ‘n match Masters” and “Glitter Addicts” the collection consisted of a full range of items

from day-to-evening wear, including embroidered leggings, cut-out bodies, playful t-shirts and glam jackets.

 

7. glitter

 

With emphasis on quality, style, coquettishness and glamour, “The Sovereignty of Shimmer” collection by e-outfit.com

catered to the fashion urges of the undaunted urban woman who values herself and her body.

 

8. models fitting

9. shoes close up

10. e-outfit.com girls

Memorabilia

Today’s post is going to be about a very special project – started exactly one year ago – which is probably one of the most important ones during our fashion adventure.

As you all know, our main career focus is the creation of our online boutique named “e-outfit.com”, however at some point we felt that we needed to create a “physical” store located in the heart of Athens that would  reflect our personality & inspiration.

Moreover it would be a place where we could meet our beloved customers & followers “offline” giving us the opportunity for personal contact with them & some honest styling advise for the ones who seek it.

Last but not least, it would be the perfect place for you to have a closer look to our garments available online and our upcoming collections.

To us the creation of our “e-outfit.com” Concept Boutique at Tsakalof 16, is something much bigger than just a flagship store or a showroom.

It is our home.

We had loads of fun while collecting these “start-up” pics from here and there, while we have to admit we got a bit emotional, therefore we felt the need to share these moments with you guys.

Enjoy…
