My Athens Designer Nassos Ntotsikas whose wearable-off-the-catwalk knitwear creations are a must-have this autumn, believes in Athens’ creative chaos but stays true to his Chios roots. What do you do? I am a fashion designer, specialized in knitwear and I run my own label the last 2,5 years. What are your creative inspirations? It varies… It can be an interesting book, a theatrical play, a photo, a journey… But at the core is always the woman as I ideally have her image in my mind! Why knitwear? Because knitwear for me is a way of escaping and expressing myself. Your creations are aimed at: Sophisticated and elegant women with a strong personality The one thing that you always pack in your suitcase? Books, music and my pencils. Why did you choose to come back to Athens? I never really left… Which area of Athens do you live in and what do you see from your balcony? Lykovrisi, where I see a friendly and quiet neighbourhood! Athens to me is…. a creative chaos! Your favourite picks: Your island of choice: Chios, where I come from! The most endearing and most annoying quality of Athenians? Endearing: Their feeling of solidarity in a crisis and Annoying: their habit of doing everything at the last minute! Can you describe a quintessentially Athenian sound, smell, taste and sight? Whenever I am at Acropolis, thousands of feelings flooding me that I can’t describe them in few words. With the crisis, has Athens now become a creative hub? Athens always was a creative hub but during the crisis, more people have become creative. A perfect day on the island starts with… and ends with: It starts with Greek coffee at Mesta village and continues at Mavra Volia beach and ends with a stroll at Chios Hora enjoying a perfect Kronos ice cream!
