Today we have our first guest and couldn’t be anyone other than Alexia Chrysochoidou. A constant collaborator of the brand, the supporting hand that is always there but you -almost- never see.
Alexia is a Chemical Engineer by day and a Set Designer/Interior Designer/Costume Designer/Woodworker/Great Friend/Carpenter/Material and Technique Expert by night.
How does she do it? We don’t know, either. So, we had an idea. To follow her around her house, make her pretend we are not there and change 8 outfits as if she is Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story (do you see it now?).
We also asked her some quick questions. As a result, she answered!
