Famous for its ancient art and culture, Greece also has bred well-established fashion designers whose work is acclaimed both within and outside its borders.

While international star system embraces the Greek chic in sartorial choices and Greek consumers seeking the «made in Greece» in the market, a new generation of designers with vision renews the face of the Greek fashion, which seems to be entering the most dynamic time.

Bringing Greece into fashion, inspired by history and tradition. Make fashionable bags loom or create hats with the traditional techniques of headwear, but on the basis of the most modern aesthetic. While the Greek economy is going through hard times, the Greeks creators and makers conquer the domestic and international markets and reverse the situation a few years ago wanted them on the verge of extinction. Thus, the Greek brands have come to the shelves of Harrods and international star appearances on the red carpet. And the Greek fashion certainly has not said its last word.

Here is a short profile in nine of the top Greek designers who have reached celebrity status.

 Kathy Heyndels

Μαίρη Κατράντζου

Η  Mary Katrantzou  is a London-based  Greek fashion designer that emerged onto the fashion scene in 2008 and was awarded the British Fashion Award for the Best Emerging Designer in 2011. An expert in integrating bold prints into her designs, her collections are sold in more than 200 stores worldwide. She has also collaborated with world famous brands such as Adidas and Longchamp.

Her prints are constructed through digital technology, and her background in architecture proved useful as she mastered the digital construction and technicality of manufacturing in design, which has influenced her design direction with prints. Because of its strong visual component, prints have allowed her to create a distinctive visual language where color, texture, and shape are equally important. In that manner, she designs each print around the piece of clothing, and simultaneously, the clothes are designed around the print. In recent years, however, a notable change has been seen on her catwalks. Veering away from the prints that made her famous, she has been transitioning towards texture and mentions that brocade, beading, lace, and embroidery are equally as important as the prints.

Whatever means she uses, Katrantzou focuses on the visual language she brilliantly creates; whether she does it by print or by texture, she does it remarkably.
