The Birth Of the Rebel Citizen

       conquistador
The word "conquistador" literally translated means "conqueror". A dictionary defines "conqueror" as "one who conquers" or "one who overcomes or surmounts". Wikipedia.com

Conquistador is the brainchild of the renowned german born, Athens based Greek fashion photographer & stylist Tassos sofroniou
Conquistador as a contemporary, menswear label, is inspired by the classic college hoody top, totally reworked and presented in new proportion, refreshing   style and sharp unique tailoring.

The base of the top is a 100% cotton and the detailing blends 100% real washable leather and satin cotton poplin.
Each collection will be available only in three different colors per season-this season in black, cloud grey and dust powder black- and in four sizes (XS,S,M,L ).

100% leather accessories such as bags, laptop cases, wallets and leather jewelry will complete the look as well as two dif styles of trousers for a strong impact of a total conquistador look.
The final result of this concept is an alternative, new urban masculine style, for a 24/7 day, anywhere in the world.

The precise creative cut, the close-to-the-body fit and the maximum masculine effect are the key elements for a conquistador style as an extension of the male body, providing comfort and originality at it s best.
with design references from  scuba diving uniforms to early 16th century soldiers  and classic tuxedo suits to extreme sport apparel, Conquistador is a new menswear label that embraces  the rebel citizen within all and chooses to be present phischicaly and mentally  24/7 all year around.
A true, modern day, explorer and adventurer who travel continuously, demands comfort, personal style and avoids seasonal trends and complicated looks.

The preview collection will be presented in oct. 2010 in Athens - Greece in a closed event for press and buyers only, in a form of an art installation directed by the established contemporary greek born, lyon based, choreographer Adonis foniadakis.

A new dance creation by the acclaimed Lyon based Greek choreographer Andonis Foniadakis entitled "Horizons" with the Cedar Lake contemporary ballet dance company, was recently previewed  for a very selected group of insiders in New York city. The official premiere at the Joyce theater in Chelsea, is scheduled for May7th to 12th, 2013 and we were more than happy to be assigned to design original costumes exclusively for this exciting project. Giving more than just a CONQUISTADOR authentic style aspect to the process, each costume became the extension for the style and personality of each dancer. The final costumes are some of our most complicated technically and visually daring yet,  while they play an interesting game of collisions between the ultimate "frenemies". Stretch polyamide is appliqued with gentle tulle flock polka dots , new designed details and cuts are introduced, a pick-a-boo of proportions and handmade grecian draping, all ble...
