MadWalk 2012

MadWalk 2012 took place last Wednesday and this time I was there.

As you probably know, the event is a fusion of a music concert and a catwalk show, so the place was packed with teens trying to get a glimpse of their favourite artist as well as some fashion lovers hopelessly trying to actually see the clothes. As that was kinda impossible due to huge place and our seats being of the nosebleed kind, the pics I'll be posting here will be more about depicting the atmosphere and less about the couture.

Enjoy!

My date for the night, Elena Pakou, who took the most amazing pictures for her post on Miss Bloom.


Alexander, I don't know if you can read us, but Cypriot designer Efi Papaioannou and Greek bouzoukia singer Natasa Theodoridou paid homage to your chess catwalk thingy.

Those of you who need to see more, fret not. The show will be edited and aired on TV anytime soon.

MADwalk backstage

This is just a small fraction of the amazing backstage pics photographers Haris Farsarakis & Mata Serafimidou managed to snap at the 1st MADwalk that took place last Wednesday.

More pics, including snapshots of veteran Sophia Chrysohoidou, Greek ΝΤΜ2 contestant Ioanna Papagianni, Greek ΝΤΜ1 runner-up Monika Kwiecien (that's her in the b&w pic above, snapping away with her DSLR) and models clad in Mary Katrantzou's C’est Ci Nes Pas Une Chambre SS2011 collection, in the official site photo gallery here.

MAD walking today

Greek music TV channel MAD is organising the first MADwalk event combining fashion & music. Eight acclaimed Greek fashion designers will be presenting their latest collections on stage with 8 equally famous Greek music artists.

The show will be presented by pop singer and fashion chameleon Tamta and the Greek equivalent to Tyra Banks, Vicki Kaya. I believe both of them will be giving us the inside scoop through their twitter accounts tonight.

The designer/artist pairings are:

Apostolos Mitropoulos + Elena Paparizou
Celia Kritharioti + Sakis Rouvas
Deux Hommes + Yiorgos Mazonakis
Yiorgos Eleftheriades + Myronas Stratis feat. Ilia Darlin
Mary Katrantzou + Matisse
MI-RO + Onirama
Orsalia Parthenis + Melisses
Vrettos Vrettakos + Despina Vandi

Hurry up if you're interested, the event is taking place today at the Fencing Hall of Helliniko Olympic Complex.

You can find directions on how to get there here. Tickets cost €25 and you can still get them online on ticketshop.gr or in one of the stores mentioned here.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend due to work obligations. Happy madwalking!
