Stelios Koudounaris SS 2012
On the occasion of STELIOS KOUDOUNARIS catwalk show (Saturday 17th March 2012) for AW 2012-2013 which takes place at the Ethniki Conference Center during the Athens Xclusive Designers Week (17 - 20 March 2012) we would like to present his Spring/Summer collection 2012 (see images below) a combination of influences, classical and new materials and colors that despite the apparent "disorder", create an overall harmony and flow that changes and is defined each time, depending on the personality who will adopt it.
The collection is called "Entropia". Entropy is a measure of energy diversification that exists in matter and the universe. In nature, there is a tendency to increase entropia. If this ever reaches its peak, this would mean the death of the universe, life, and would bring chaos.
Stelios Koudounaris was born in Cyprus in 1981 and raised in a family fashion business. After studying Fashion Design and Garment Manufacture he moved to Athens and worked for some leading Greek fashion business as a fashion designer and stylist.
Since his very first collection under his own label, called after him ''STELIOSKOUDOUNARIS'', Stelios Koudounaris plays a leading role in Greek fashion system. International magazines like Harpers Bazaar, Madame Figaro, InStyle and more have presented his work for several times, while Greek souperstars choose his creations for their appearances.
Cyprus mufflon is used as his main logo, which is a statement traditional figure given a modern twist in order to explore his designs' sharp shaped pattern cutting and dynamics and slightly declare the designers'origin.
His collections are mainly driven by some rock and wild elegance always worked in such a way to elect a womans' body. His minimal approach to female sexiness evolves through a mixture of razor-cut clear designs and futuristic mood.
His making is mainly adapting couture like techniques to his pret-a-porter creations that are aesthetically perseverance in now-a-days.
"STELIOSKOUDOUNARIS" collections are exclusively manufactured in Greece and distributed in 40 selected selling points alongside Austria, Denmark, Poland, Greece and Cyprus.
