The Greek designer was inspired by the New York’s “Swans”, the glamorous female friends of the popular novelist Truman Capote, who comprised some of the chicest high society women from prominent families in New York in the 1950s and 1960s. Glamorous and sophisticated they were the epitome of style and substance. They were real women who knew how to pose, women who gave styling lessons on every step and were photographed without photoshop and filters. Women who stayed charming and stood out for their elegance, but also for their history.
