Szczegóły własnej kolekcji Sofii Karvelas

Sofia was brought up in a house full of music and clothes. The daughter of Greek rock & roll royals, Anna Vissi and Nikos Karvelas, she still remembers as a child getting lost in her mother’s wardrobe, playing make-believe with her outfits, or watching her mother getting dressed for a performance – a daring dresser herself combining Alaïa couture with combat boots. And yet, most of Sofia’s style identification comes from her father; a simpler, more thoughtful dresser that used music and clothes to express his emotional state, which was usually black.

A true rock & roll child in spirit, Sofia moved to New York on her own, at the age of seventeen, to go to school and party. And she did both, and successfully, and so was her recovery. Soon enough she joined Patricia Field, the influential New York fashion icon who signed-off the off-beaten fashion path of the last decade. Her years there, from interning to assisting to designing, not only increased
her hunger for eyeing new concepts, but also enabled her to make the most out of Patricia’s artistry on the business side of fashion. That was one of Sofia’s catalysts in creating her own line, SKar.

Sofia describes SKar. using terms like "deconstruction and rebirth" and "lovability to an almost vulnerable pavement-poetic state". Terms that, at our current times and affairs, sound appropriate, if not needed. Looking at her line, you can see her own roaming-around life and eye "the beauty of imperfection…" as she explains with regards to all these intelligent shreds resembling spider-webs made with Grecian-draped craft. Sofia talks about vulnerability but there is an understated armory, an empowerment in her work. After all these years, she knows the pavements of New York.
