There Are Countless Formulas For Pressing Flowers

There are days that juvenile creative play simply takes over and Barbie dress up seems the ultimate fun under fourty degrees Celcius at the top of a burnt to the ground mountain! While you all were lazily sunbathing with procrastination mode on as waves were splashing up on the wonderful coral reef beaches of Athens, (bahaha) I was chosen by my extremely talented photographer friend Nikolas Tsakris to acquaint my styling mind trips with his creative photographic vision. 

Visually narrating two stories was as a piece of a very hot cake, a steady stream of consciousness developing in an abandoned house and a Burtonesque barren land of solitary stripped trees. As you will see, minus the sunburn, there's an evident abstraction that reflects grunge frustration and a sense of abandonment. Luckily, my compulsion with transporting and absorbing art clicked instantly with the representational perception of the photographer and the two distinct visions connected! 

Thus I proudly give you the editorially subversive Sweet Valley High Lana Del Ray version and a quasi grunge Kurt Cobain fairy. 

With Special thanks to Stathis Samantas for trusting and honouring us to present one of his upcoming Spring Summer shoe pieces.
