Established designer Loukia, the undisputed grand dame of greek fashion , "opened" the fashion week presenting the collection «The DarkSide of Lovely».
A collection that appeals to young girls : a combination of dark shades and light colors and woolen items confused with lace, giving a unique result belonging exclusively to the strict 'rules' of couture, but also combines free imaginative influences of all techniques.
