Parthenis

Zeus, Hercules, Hermes, Hades... those names don't mean much to me nowadays. On the other hand, Dimitris Parthenis is a true Greek God! After a summer abroad and a few days in Mykonos and Athens I have had the pleasure to get to know this brilliant Greek designer. In my opinion his clothes are as clean and beautiful as I would imagine Mount Olympus to be.

Dimitris Parthenis opened his first store in Athens in 1970. The next venture in 1978 was in Mykonos, a great source of inspiration for the designer. In the mid 80's the Parthenis brand had conquered the Greek market and the designer was considered an innovator in his field. Today the Parthenis look remains timeless and simple with a unisex easy-living feel and pure elegant Greek aesthetic.
