Video Artist / photographer Katerina Kana sent me this image, taken backstage at LOUKIA show. I thought it looks great for Diane Pernet’s viewers.Also here today I would like to presend Stathis Samantas, for whom I have talked allready during the Athenian Fashion week. Stathis is a shoe designer, 27 years old and he represented Greece at the latest Bienale Exhcibition . Here is a picture of his work
. We have know each other for many years, even before he actually started his dream. His previews work had nothing to do with shoes and also he was very shy back then to show me anything , not even sketches. I have a feeling that his name is going to be an establishment soon and that makes me happy.
Erikka Bahnsen is somebody I met during my stay in Paris. We were together at JOHN GALLIANO for months working at the atelier with a "convetion du stage" contract. Soon we became friends. Soon after I got my second Intership with Chloe, Erikka was allready back in Denmark. I never forget the most horrible Christmas Eve I spent with her and a friend’s almost dead (because of age) dog.
Yesterday, I recieved some pictures of her latest Knitwear collection which I find lovely . Erikka was also at the Diesel competition of young designers that took place some months age in Milan. I don;t know whether she won the prize but I know certainly that a big fashion house
invited her to join the team. If you ever met Erikka
please ask her to "make" the cat. It’s a really scary experience I’m telling you!!!
