SIMEONI
Konstantinos Simeoni was born in 1969 in Thessaloniki Greece.
He graduated from high school in 1986 and then went to the "VELUDAKIS FASHION SCHOOL" in Athens, where he studied fashion design. After his graduation from there and his Master's course at "ISTITUTO DI MODA BURGO" in Milan, he returned to Thessaloniki.
He created his fashion house in 1996 and six months later his Boutique. Since then, he creates his collections every season, which he presents in his personal fashion shows in Thessaloniki and Athens.
His fashion shows are chosen and shown on FASHION TV as a representation of Greek Fashion Design.
Simeoni today, is one of the most promising and important Greek fashion designers of the new era.
Since his beginning, he has managed to stand out due to his personal style, his finesse and his unusually advanced design.
Besides his prêt-a-porter line, he signs and designs a collection of inspired wedding dresses and a line of exclusive evening clothes. His work is characterized by the outstanding sewing, a high sense of elegance and the most lavish materials.
He always chooses fabrics of natural fibers and intervenes, giving them a new more advanced image by placing other different colored pieces of fabric in various shapes of the main clothing and embroidering them with multi colored feathers, beads and crystals.
His progressive ideas and his natural Mediterranean way of expression are visible not only in the design, but also in the radical new way he cuts his pattern, so as to embrace and emphasize the best elements of the female shape.
His creations are marked by the Mediterranean sun and the Greek nature. His identity and culture are revealed.
The colours reflect all the happiness of the Greek attitude. The woman is filled with femininity and character.
Simeoni expresses himself through his art by cooperating with other forms of art, which lead him until now to participate in many exhibitions in galleries with other artists.
Believing that fashion can contribute to society helping the less fortunate of this world, ever since his first show, all the profits go to philanthropist organizations, which rewarded him for his contribution to their important social work.
A few of these fashion shows which support the common good were in cooperation with:
“EL.E.P.A.P.” - (Greek organization for protecting disabled children)
“STORGI” - (Greek organization for helping children with cancer)
“UNESCO” - (For the peace and women in the Balkans)
“ARGOS” - (Greek organization for the animals without owner)
“GREEK ANTICANCER ORGANIZATION”
“F.T.B.C.” - (Fashion Targets Breast Cancer)
“AGAPI” - (Greek Social Help Organization)
He is a founding member of the Hellenic Fashion Designers Association (H.F.D.), and member of the Board that represents all the established Greek Fashion Designers.
HFD organize "Athens Collections" (the Greek Fashion Week) every season.
Simeoni is now the Art Director of Fashion Academy by IEK DELTA, the most promising school for the new generation of fashion designers in Greece.
