The upper city.

I have recently returned from my annual trip to my home town, Thessaloniki, where we visited the old “upper” city to enjoy the view and explore the winding streets and quaint houses.

We came across this cute pastel house and decided it was a great backdrop for my outfit pictures.

Eustratia A/W ’14-15

Having first started work on this collection almost a year ago, I’m delighted to finally be able to share my complete vision.

I decided to present it in format of a story and hope that it helps to define the feel and character of each item of clothing.

Current Obsessions: Style

This month I’ve been obsessed with re-defining my style and pin-pointing my new wardrobe staples.

I see style as something that constantly evolves as you mature and change circumstances and habits and I love that about it, but I also love those pieces you can wear year after year, without feeling they’ve become tired.

current obsessions- StyleI currently love easy but dramatic dresses, drapey cardigans,  printed sheers, harness bras, tight or harem style bottoms and leather boots and jackets.

I’d also love to hear what you’re wardrobe stapes are.

Twigs

The piece of land next to my house has recently been cleared of all its trees which ended up in a large pile next to the back wall of my yard. I thought they resembled a pyre and would make a good backdrop for a shoot.
