Georgina Skalidi checked in at room A22

Who doesn't love those colourful, quirky geometrical bags?


Georgina Skalidi who participated in last month's The Fashion Room Service (where those pics were shot at) is one of the few Greek designers to be so friendly and easily accessible, having both an online and a physical store in 77 Skoufa st, Kolonaki. Plus, her creations are of the reasonably priced kind. Perfect X-mas gifts, I say.

SOMF checked in at room A8

Mariaflora Papapanagiotou and Olivia Efstathiou are ΣΟΜΦ.

Diesel checked in at room G23-24

Diesel showed their SS2012 collection titled Worksville in double room G23-24.


Actual models were lounging on the beds, so that at first glance it kinda gave the impression that you had accidentally walked into an actual room.

Oh well, at least they were dressed!

Freddy checked in at room G21

Freddy is a sportswear label from Italy.

Hummel at room G22

Hummel participated in The Fashion Room Service by OZON RAW, occupying room G22.


Now I just really need a certain pair of lemon yellow kicks featuring the original Gummy Bear.

Yummy!

Absolut checked in at room G26

As a person who had navy blue curtains in her bedroom throughout her teens, I loved the blue room hosted by Absolut Mode, sporting the new octagonal bottle adorned with dark blue satin ribbon created by Gareth Pugh.


Too bad it didn't occur to me at the time to have my pic taken posing as a smurf, like Simos.


As I happen to have a bottle of my own at home, explicit instructions for making a bloody great Bloody Mary are to follow.

Melina Pispa checked in at room G25

Melina's room was the first one I entered last Wednesday, at The Fashion Room Service by OZON RAW. She's a cutie and her clothes are of the romantic, whimsical kind that make my imagination travel in fairytale stories.

2nd edition, served by OZON

Seriously now, I think I'm gonna have to do waaaay too many posts to cover all the rooms and designers that participated in this season's Fashion Room Service, possibly one for each designer.

Stay tuned, I have some really nice things to show you.

Serving up north

1 afternoon
1 hotel
17 hotel rooms
17 participating designers and labels
1 great party

After the first successful Room Service three weeks ago at Semiramis Athens, OZON RAW's project travels up north.

The first Fashion Room Service in Thessaloniki is taking place today 15:00-22:00 at The Excelsior Hotel.

Just like last time, guests will have the opportunity to see, feel, try on and even buy from the participating designers newest collections straight from the 17 rooms that will be transformed into pop-up showrooms, and it will be followed by a cocktail party at The Excelsior’s lounge bar.

The participating designers this time are:

Drama Queen
DRESS2IMPRESS
Apostolos Mitropoulos
Aldo Cibic, Patricia Urquiola
WeSC Footwear
The Otherwise Project
Scoopa
Digitaria
Kiehl's
Spanaki
Division 925
Conquistador
Parthenis Bridal Collection
Georgina Kostara
Maria Mastori

More info here.

And those of you northeners who'll be there, please say a big, heart-warming hello to my dearest friend Anna Spanaki and her beautiful clutch bags!

Conquistador

Three weeks have already passed since the last Fashion Room Service at Semiramis and it would be a total waste to let those pics of Evangelos Baos wearing one of Tassos Sofroniou's creations inside the Conquistador room to just sit around in my folders.

Great chance to unearth them now.

Those who live up north and missed it then, get a second chance. Conquistador will be participating again at this weekend's Fashion Room Service up north in Thessaloniki. More detailed post to follow on that.

But also, I was lucky enough to secure a quite interesting mini interview with Tassos Sofroniou plus pics from Conquistador's AW2011/12 collection that I'll be posting tomorrow, so don't forget to check back in the morning.

DElight in room #601

DElight SS2011, as you've already seen it here.

The yummy drinks.

Evi Retziou deep in conversation and even deeper in that pink bubblegum chair.

As you can imagine, we stayed quite a while in that room, last Saturday at The Room Service.

You've been served

Straight from from last Saturday's event in Semiramis Hotel in Kefalari, my report for The Room Service says it was an utter success!

Well, I still have too many pics to show you, so I decided to keep some of my favourites for later, each in their own separate post, so keep an eye out for a couple of more The Room Service updates on the following days.

Last but not least, big kudos to the OZON people.

Mr Kelefis, Aris and the rest of the team, you guys nailed it!

Can't wait for the next one...
