Dorothea Mercouri in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Couture

Dorothea Mercouri is a Greek - Italian actress. I love this woman's classic Mediterranean beauty, her genuine feminine style combined with true bravado and the goddess aura that surrounds her. Here she is in the runway show of Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2012 Couture, which was inspired by Amy Winehouse.

Emoona

Emoona is a new French fashion label, which creates very glamorous designs, emphasizing the strength but also the fragility expressed by women.

What I loved about the Emoona designs is this playful, sensual quality, teamed with a nostalgic and decadent feeling of past glamour. In order to bring out the unique in each woman, Emoona only creates a limited number of each design. All creations are numbered. I hope we will get to see more of this label in the future!

THEIA

Theia in Greek (pronounced 'theea', with the 'th' as in 'theme') means 'aunt'. It also means 'divine'. So, when Theodora Provopoulou, a young and very talented Greek fashion designer whose first name literally means 'gift of God', created THEIA, she was obviously playing with her name in English and the double meaning of the word in Greek.

From day 1 I was attracted to THEIA's work. Something about Theodora's resume (she has studied economics, philosophy, fashion design, pattern and sewing!) and her feminine approach to fashion told me this is a designer that we need to keep an eye on. Is it just my idea, or do you see it yourselves that with her work she makes women look more female, really loved, and ultimately, divine?
