Yiorgos Eleftheriades

Yiorgos Eleftheriades has created thirty-eight womens and nineteen mens collections that have been presented in Athens, Paris, London, Milan and Berlin.

Based on his love for classical forms and in search for contemporary elegance, he aims to create a truly alternative urban style with interesting shapes, strong tailoring and experimental combinations of fabrics and textures. He is often fond of bringing together contrasting materials - the mat with the glittery, the high tech with the retro, the masculine with the feminine, the luxurious with the humble. Color wise, each collection is usually based on a palette of neutral shades, followed by a strong scheme of intense colors the result is often offbeat and striking.

The main quality of his designing perception is a transeasonal timelessness and a glamorous but cool day-to-night approach that has as a result clothes which function either in dynamic, simple and minimalist combinations or in accessories that have a sense of humor.

In 2007 he made the debut of his diffusion line, Collage Social, in cooperation with Shop and Trade, one of the biggest import companies of world-wide known brands.

In 1994 he was assigned the position of Creative Director for "Grecotel" company in Greece, in which the uniforms he designed are still in use. Throughout the years he has been cooperating with some of the most important directors and actors/actresses in Greece while creating costumes for theatre.
