Fashion designer LUKAS Alifragis

LUKAS SS11 collection fashion show

It was the right timing for us to write about LUKAS and this because when we saw the amazing costumes for the play "Hungry Anyone??" a few days ago at Michael Kakoyiannis Foundation, we were absolutely stunned...

The talented young fashion designer studied Mechanical Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens but his passion for fashion design led him to AKMI IVT where he attended the Fashion Design and Styling courses. Following his dreams, he goes to Paris and takes some seminar courses in Fashion Design and Pattern Drafting as well as in accessories, bags and shoes Design at ESMOD (Paris). From that moment on, he keeps impressing us with his creations. To hone his skills, LUKAS entered the "Heering Accessorize 2009" competition wherein among the 12000 contestants, he won the first price and his participation in Copenhagen Fashion Week.

His amazing personality and talent lead LUKAS to generate more fame and compliments on himself and his brand and it’s not surprising that Greek and international magazines (e.g. Glamour, Mirror, Life&Style, BHMAdonna, Athens Magazine, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, VOGUE UK, ELLE UK) shed their lights on his creations. He builds up connections with Greek artists (Despina Vandi, Tamta and Antigone Psihrami) and media shows like Greek Next Top Model, Greek Idol while his haute couture red geisha gown in X-Factor back in 2009 attracted all fashionista's eyes. His creations now can be found in boutiques in major cities around the world (Copenhagen, Los Angeles and New York).

LUKAS lately participated in a major project for Athens Metro Mall where 15 designers created Christmas tree decoration ornaments which were auctioned for charity reasons.

LUKAS latest collection SS11 is called "FUTURE SHOCK_womachines" and can be described with 5 words edgy, fresh, innovative, sexy, avant-garde. The creator said for his collection: "This season it's about power and control. LUKAS woman is determined to conquer everything. When edgy meets sexy there is no way back... What shocks u today, is tomorrow's trend!". We would call it provocative with futuristic touch and we are certain that one day he will make a trend with his "SHOCKing" creations.
