Like most tailors, my father did not want me to follow this path, he wanted me to study something else. But after my unsuccessful attempt to study mathematics, I was brought face to face with my deep desire that had formed since childhood to work in the clothing industry. That is what made me decide to study fashion.

It is an anthropocentric craft in which the old and the new are equally important. The incomparable quality of handmade tailoring on the one hand, and the utmost precision of the digital pattern on the other is the simplest example.

A special moment in my professional life is my work for the Greek Paralympic swimmer Antonis Tsapatakis. Designing and making a series of suits for a disabled person was an experience that made me re-study anatomy, read specialist pattern books, and ultimately redefine my love for tailoring along with my love for humans.

Yes, because this is the only way for my craft to keep existing. There are very few of us who know and practise the art of tailoring, which is not taught anywhere, in any school, private or public, in Greece.
