This evening at Ethniki Asfalistiki Conference Center in Athens the 16th Athens Xclusive Designers Week started with a fashion show by Vassilis Zoulias presenting his resort 2015 collection "Yakinthi".

For more than 25 years Vassilis Zoulias has been involved in the fashion industry. He started working as fashion editor for greek magazines like Votre Beaute and Vogue.
In 2003 he created a shoe and bag company, Vassilis Zoulias Old Athens and in 2007 he launched his first pret a porter collection.
In 2008 Vassilis Zoulias started with Haute Couture in his atelier in Kolonaki, the fashion quarter of Athens. Two years ago, in 2012, he showed his collection in New York.

Vassilis Zoulias is known for his love for the elegance of the fifties and sixties.
His resort 2015 collection is inspired by Yakinthi.
In 1959 Yakinthi Karaviti was named Miss Hellas and she represented Greece at the Miss World contest in London where she was a semi-finalist.
For 15 years she was modelling, she has been photographed for many covers and editorials of greek magazines and became the face of Binaca, a tooth paste.
This tooth paste campaign with the well known fluorescent yellow package Vassilis Zoulias used for the invitation this evening.

The resort 2015 collection is full of colours and interesting prints, we haven't seen before during Vassilis Zoulias shows. Prints in all kind of colours and themes, from flowers to geometric ones.
The jewellery by Pericles Kondylatos is a perfect match for the dresses.
Here a glimpse of the show.
