Stelios Koudounaris @ 9th AXDW

An invite with hidden sins. Then again "what is hidden, is not a sin" claims the designer. Show's tomorrow at 19:30, Koudounaris latest fashion film is expected to be projected during.

Strigles for kids

Being a mother made her imagination bloom. Or maybe she's had it with her daughter stealing her shoes and accessories! 'Strigles Craftcrime' designer, Christina Aggelopoulou, has launched a colourful collection for kids, 'Striglitses'. Modelling for the catalogue, her beautiful child and muse, Divina. How sweet is this? She's got the look.
Oh, and this one is for you mama(s). The funkiest pop galore shoulderpad-brooch I've ever seen:
Handmade too. I bet if it went down some international catwalk on a t-shirt, it would be circulating fashion exhibitions by next season.

Georgina Skalidi recycles fashion

For the week between tomorrow, March 18th and Saturday, March 26th, accessories designer Georgina Skalidi is hosting a second-hand bazaar at her new space in Kolonaki. 'Let's Recycle Fashion!' is the brief shout out that came along with the announcement. Whether 'eco' translates to ecological or economical to you, this event applies to both.

Indie band Tall Ships faces of new collection

Sharing propelled by Wikio

Fashion clips go beyond designer houses and fashion comes all the closer to music. Phenomenon pictured well in this clip where indie band Tall Ships sports the new Label Lab menswear collection for House of Fraser. The new collection has been launched exclusively at selected House of Fraser stores in the UK and online.

The look is described as edgy, slim, distressed, and macabre, in a monochromatic colour palette featuring mainly greys, blacks and neutrals. Tall Ships were selected as the ideal faces and sound to project this as well as a "cool" menswear image.

Note 'Fashion + Music' under your major come-back column.

Celebrity Skin previous winner - the dress

Never had the chance to show you before, but with Celebrity Skin's new show approaching and the invites competition at large (see here) now seems about right.

Ladies and gents, this is Alexandra from Inspiration Partout, my beautiful winner from previous competition, wearing made-to-measure Celebrity Skin.

She welcomed 2011 in her prize LBD with designers' signature puffy sleeves and studded neckline. For detailed shots, champagne, smiles and celebrity attitude, visit her post here!

Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry, second collection

Fred Perry has just released a second collection under the creative direction of Amy Winehouse. Word is out that there's now a 5 year contract between the all-time-classic brand and the edgy singer. This season's pieces feature her particular 50's style projected on halter neck dresses and tie up bowling shirts, involving hawaiian prints and embroidery starring the artist herself. Seems like Miss Winehouse is more than a golden voice. Can't wait to see her in flesh at Ejekt Festival in Athens this summer.

Celebrity Skin - AXDW show & invites

Here's a peep from 'DRAmaTIC DISclipiNE', Celebrity Skin's a/w 11 collection to be presented at Athens Xclusive Designers Week shortly. Save the date: Monday, March 21st at 19.30.

It's going to be dramatic alright, with theatrical signature shapes revisited and applied on wool and synthetic fabrics, styled with saturated add-ons, all in disciplined shades of black and ash grey.

Scheduled to begin with a fashion film of approximately 6 minutes by Nectarios Karolos Papazacharias, starring 10 models as well as Eleonora Zouganeli, Ada Livitsanou, Isaia Matiaba, Penelope Anastasopoulou and Alexis Foukos. It's meant to be a visualization of Sinead O'Connor's song 'Troy', featuring people that pose a source of inspiration to designer duo Dimitris Strepkos and Eleni Barla for being "effortless style icons".
