The curtain of the
32nd Athens Fashion Week
on 20/6, the special fashion show of
Angelos Bratis
under the iconic roof of Kalatrava in OAKA.
The show was attended by distinguished guests, with the models walking through the shade, under the light of the sunset,
one step before the biggest day of the year.

The moment pulsates with techno sounds while the collection moves from sportswear to abstract geometric and asymmetrical forms
that flow with movement over the body.
Dresses are mirrors, inversely structured towards the viewer, but not to the one who wears them, seeing their reflection.
