So here I am...

I was born in Athens the capital of Greece. My mother was born in Brazil and my father at Piraeus. My influences ? Many…
I have studied Economics and Business Management. Disappointed by the nature of finance sciences, which I mistakenly chose to follow, I started questioning myself what was it that I really wanted to do and  realised that it was the combination of my two favourite activities I had as a child, painting and the creation of dolls clothing …
So at the same time with my studies in finances I started taking lessons in fashion designing and jewellery creation as well as photography. My second passion following fashion is music and so I often borrow names for my clothes from song titles, band names and lyrics. At the same time I occasionally play music as a d.j at several Athenian bars…
The design of my clothes is characterized by originality, long-lastingness, range of styles and the use of unique patterns. Particularly playful and appearing only in limited numbers my creations offer a day-to-night approach with a vivid sense of humour.

I despise the “fake”, glamorous world of fashion and I prefer creating  outfits for women who have a mind of their own and an innate sense of style, who are not afraid to experiment and adopt different roles through their clothes…www.venetiaioakim.com
