Last week, before my amazing trip to London, I visited the LEVI'S showroom in Athens for something that I will reveal soon in another blog post. While I was there, I had the chance to see up close and try on a few of the pieces from the SS 2013 collection!

The Spring Summer collection was inspired by India, but not in an obvious, ethnic - boho kind of way. You can see the inspiration in the colors, in the materials and the designs. I loved the floral dresses and the classic, but always trendy cut off shorts. 

I wore a white top and a lovely pair of denim pants, which looks white in the photos, but it's actually a very light pastel green-ish color. I also tried on a beautiful red jacket, with a floral lining on the inside. 






I can't wait for the collection to hit the stores (which will be very soon)! You can Like the Levi's fb page here for updates and news on the collections and the Brand.

See you soon with another Levi's post...(so stay tuned)!

Την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα, πριν από το καταπληκτικό ταξίδι μου στο Λονδίνο, επισκέφθηκα το showroom της Levi's, για κάποιο λόγο που θα σας αποκαλύψω σε επόμενη ανάρτηση. Μου δόθηκε λοιπόν η ευκαιρία, εφόσον βρισκόμουν εκεί, να δω από κοντά και να δοκιμάσω κάποια από τα κομμάτια της συλλογής Άνοιξη-Καλοκαίρι 2013. 

Η έμπνευση πίσω από τη συλλογή αυτή είναι η Ινδία, όχι όμως με τον προφανή ethnic-bohemian τρόπο. Παρατηρώντας τα χρώματα, τα υλικά και τα σχέδια, μπορεί κανείς να αντιληφθεί αυτή την έμπνευση. Μου άρεσαν πολύ τα λουλουδάτα φορέματα, καθώς και τα κλασικά - αλλά πάντα στη μόδα - κομμένα κοντά σορτσάκια.

Δοκίμασα ένα λευκό τοπ και ένα υπέροχο denim παντελόνι, το οποίο μπορεί να φαίνεται λευκό στη φωτογραφία, αλλά στην πραγματικότητα είναι σε ένα ανοιχτό, παστέλ φυστικί χρώμα. Επίσης φόρεσα και ένα πανέμορφο κόκκινο τζάκετ, το οποίο είχε λουλουδάτη φόδρα στο εσωτερικό.

Ανυπομονώ να βγει η συλλογή στα μαγαζιά (πράγμα που θα γίνει πολύ σύντομα)! Για να ενημερώνεστε για τις νέες συλλογές και τη Μάρκα γενικότερα, μπορείτε να κάνετε Like στη σελίδα της Levi's στο facebook εδω.

Θα σας δω σύντομα με μια ακόμα ανάρτηση για τη Levi's...(γι'αυτό μείνετε συντονισμένοι!).

Φιλάκια!

ΥΓ. Ευχαριστώ την Έλενα Ιωαννίδου και την Γιώτα Χουλιαρά από την Concept Communication Strategies για την ευγενική φιλοξενία στο showroom της Levi's και για ... (θα μάθετε σύντομα!)

Last night I attended an event in Kolonaki at the TR2 concept store, where a special diffusion line curated by Michael Pantos was presented. The line consists of eight fashion items designed by Sotiris Georgiou, Chris P, Dimitris Petrou, Katerina Psoma and Stathis Samantas and of course Studio TR2.

Last Wednesday, I was invited to attend Levi’s press event for the presentation of their fall collection for 2012. It was a hot summer night and I have to admit I was not so eager to leave my sweet - air conditioned - home, but I’m glad I did! The event was held at Balthasar bar-restaurant, a lovely neoclassical building with a beautiful garden. 
The fall collection consists of jeans, plaid shirts, denim jackets, T-shirts and lots of casual clothing, but not just that. There are colored jeans for men, lovely denim dresses for women and tops and blouses made from soft fabrics in rich colors, very girlie and romantic. So the collection is still within the spirit of Levi’s, but with a twist! 
I was also impressed by the Commuter series for men. It’s a collection for the urban cyclist. So no more lycra pants guys! Now you can ride your bikes in stylish Levi’s jeans and you will not get soaked if it rains (they are waterproof), or feel uncomfortable on the saddle. This series is designed to provide functionality, comfort and of course style! 
At the event there was also a live performance by singer Panayotis Tsakalakos, winner of Greek Idol 2011 and a party afterwards, with finger food and cocktails!

Last night I attended the H&M press preview for the Autumn 2012 collection. The event was held at Booze Cooperativa in the centre of Athens and it was lovely. We got to see up close some of the clothing and accessories from the autumn collection and ladies I tell you this: you will love it! 
From the chunky cardigans and the leather jackets to the sequined dresses and the statement jewelry, there are beautiful choices to mix and match and create some very stylish outfits. 
At the event we also had the chance to “play” with some garments and accessories and have our picture taken with our chosen items! I was already wearing an H&M top and jeans, so I added a coral jacket and necklace and also a black hat and a pair of shades, to create my total H&M look! 
Make up - wise, I opted for a nautical look, inspired by the new “Hey Sailor” collection by MAC (and I used all MAC products).

I know I should have made these last posts earlier in the week, but a mean cold had me feeling awful for the past few days. Well, better late than never...
I only went to the AXDW on Days 1 and 3, but I had a great time and it gave me the chance to meet some new people and catch up with others that I hadn’t seen in a while.
Outfit-wise I went for mostly blacks on both occasions. I guess my work dress code is starting to influence my whole wardrobe (I work for MAC and the dress code is “all black”!).  But you can never go wrong with black, can you?! 
My make up is of course all MAC, but I honestly can't remember what eyeshadows and lipstick I wore in the first outfit. In the second, I used Print and Carbon eyeshadows lightly blended to create a soft smokey eye, and Impassioned lipstick with Boldly bare lip liner.
