* uN NOUvEAU iDEAL by fILEP mOTWARY

Dear iDEALS, so I am in Cuprus again, for the 3rd Fashion issue of ISTEROGRAFO that I edit/curate. This morning I spent some hours with the "brain" behind the magazine, editing the texts and eating KIT-KAT chocolates. By Monday everything will be ready for me to start putting the pages together. I feel so excited.I was touched when Eleni Xenou gave me a book as a present.It is also notable of how proffesional these people are, without being stressed, always open to hear what one has to say. I feel like home everytime I come to Cyprus to work. It's like I never left my studio and my precious Maria Mastori in Athens. Today I had the chance to see how a cartoonist works. Andreas Poyiatzis and his little heroes were all over the place. I loved how polite he was with me and how cool to explain what and how he does what he does.Have a look!At 17:00 I drove towards the studio of Cypriot designer Afrodite Hera. At first we had a plan to photograph her collection this weekend, but unfortunately our model was not available.

Dear iDEALS, enjoy the images from last night's launching party for photographer/darling Mara Desypri's book, entitled "Self Portraits". The book, under Fereniki publications, portrays the works of once-a-top model-turn to photographer Mara, starting from 1992. Apostolos Mitropoulos promised to send me material from last night, since I was not in Greece. The only thing I am angry about is for not being able to attend, getting a signed copy and also for not dancing to Apostolos' beats (since he was responsible for the music-my beloved). All Photos by Apostolos Mitropoulos

Dear iDEALS, one of the young designers I am mostly fond of is London based Ioannis Dimitrousis. He was recently invited to present his work in Athens, which unfortunately I couldn't see, although I was invited. Here is a small sample of what he is proposing for Summer 2008.Visit his webpage here.Portrait by Panos Davios

Dear iDEALS, a few days ago a courrier came to bring me a fuschia invite, coming from the Greek edition of Vogue Magazine. The elephant printed in the middle of the four-times-folded paper didn't really convince me but when I asked my friends, I was in a way, convinced to go, thinking of how good it will be for my work's promotion etc...Well yes , I want to be honest with you. So I did go, dressed in Comme Des Garcons, Dior Homme, Katherine Hamnett and H&M..To my horror, I discovered that , once again, in this city, you need to show a bit of skin to be on the top of the list. After all I cannot be accused as pretentious, it was a fashion party so I had to look my best, at least for myself, no? Anyway, I was bored ten minutes later so I took my feet and went home...I want to share with you some portraits that I did at home, just before we left for Bollywood and also some images from the party. I loved the theme and the nice decoration.My friend Alex, frontman of Matisse, brought us to watch the video for his new single. I love it! Kora Karvouni's lipstick is my favorite color for this season.

Dear iDEALS, as I was cleaning my pc from unwanted material, I came across these images taken a few days before our SS 2008 show "SAME TIME TOMORROW". I couldn't throw them away without sharing...All clothes and photos by Filep Motwary. Jewellery and accessories by Maria Mastori. Copyrights for all of the above.
