* uN NOUvEAU iDEAL by fILEP mOTWARY

Dear iDEALS. lets have a look on what Erifili NiKolopoulou presented for next season and also how she describes her work: " An ode, to the westernized orientalism of Poiret, the Byzantine opulence of Fortuny’s colour scheme and the poetic layering of Gigli’s 80’s, style Erifilli’s winter 2008 collection breaks the boundaries between day and evening wear offering exotic luxury for all hours of day. A rich palette, cocoon, slouchy silhouettes and a wealth of textures are the means to create the mix and match wardrobe of an artistic and individual woman".
