Meta-Laxis avant garde show
When I was a child I used to see that when I was sad I would sit on a very high cliff and hang my feet in the void and travel
with my mind and I was seeing what was happening in the world.
A game of the mind that at that time calmed me down as I could see that anything could exist in this world.
Pain, joy, love, sadness, emotions, some more and some less.
So this feeling and the talent to travel with my mind helped me with the art of the avant garde.
Because I can travel through a concept and feel many emotions.
All handmade, everything is made by hand, always guided by a design.
I chose to share this journey this time with my team.
I chose 3 people from within my Academy, who I knew their distant dream, but also brought them close to it.
Meta-Laxis
Cold, eerie, but also allegorical, a passage to tomorrow.
Inspired by the transition from real life to that of the internet that scares us but also evolves us.
We searched and came up with models that fit the idea.
Initially starring a unique creature.
Neutral, tall, ethereal, vivid body, a “dry” huge image of beauty, a figure of the evolution of nature.
It was accompanied by 2 girls who fit the concept perfectly.
Meta-Laxis, from one life to another, from the real to the internet
I am inspired, I imagine, I design, I create.
I always start with my own tools.
Pink hair, smile and short skirt. That’s how I feel!
That’s how I started planning.
The central idea was the avatars of internet models.
Eerie airy, yet a feeling that frightens us, frozen, leading to evolution.
The theme of the show was the 4 seasons of the year
And in this context, only the frozen winter can write the story we want to share.
With white sensual hoods that were the initial image of the models with clouds in their hair and also in the finale of the show.
The forms take position and we move on to the revelation.
A moment that thrilled both the audience and me.
Before I close I want to thank my colleagues, who brought my vision to life and we travelled together to the otherworldly
this world that leads us to evolution and the next step.
The costume designer George Segredakis, the makeup artist Maria Demopoulou, my favorite students
Fotis Giakoumatos, Eleftheria Neonakis and Konstantinos Kallionakis.
My adorable models terpsichorree, Olga Kottlida and Elizabeth Vaitsou.
Joy Creations for the creation of my own outfit.
Eftychia Iosifidou for the editing of the video.
And finally Estetica Magazine and Frini Latou for the wonderful hospitality and support.
This is the art of the Avant Garde.
And from October ’23, you will be able to be part of that dream,
when the first Avant Garde training group will start.
Book now because only 6 people will be able to experience this incredible trip,
to know and experience – step by step – the evolution of the mind with their hands.

I kiss you,
