Maison Faliakos was founded in Athens in 1981 by Costas Faliakos, counting now 40 years of history in the Greek fashion industry. In 2003, Christos Petridis takes over the helm of the house, having served as the right hand of K. Faliakos, and leads Maison Faliakos onto new paths of creation and evolution. Today, Christos Petridis, Chief Creative Officer and Venediktos Antipas, Creative Director, are building, together, a new identity for Maison Faliakos, making full use of the rich heritage and history of the house. The experience of so many years guarantees high-quality creations with impeccable construction that stand-out as designs in Haute Couture, Bridal and Prêt-a-Porter collections, always faithful to the legendary identity of the house.
Maison
From the first moment it opened its doors, Maison Faliakos, has served, highlighted and contributed in the evolution of craftsmanship in couture. Through the magic and unparalleled beauty of haute couture and its techniques, through the anthropocentric approach, serving the needs of real women, encouraging them to embrace imperfections with simple classic tailoring, via the Pret-a-Porter collections and the pieces sewn repeatedly solely in specific sizes.
In the entire range of products created at Maison Faliakos, couture and its values dominate, sometimes openly and brilliantly, glorifying the expertise of the atelier and sometimes “hiddenly” in the mastery of a sleeve-glue or in the ethereal movement of a seemingly simple Ready-to-Wear garment.
Preform preparation and correct measurements, double marks and center holes, cutting on the bench based on the perception of the third dimension of the human body, respect for curves and so much more that contribute to the correct approach to sewing, meet at the next stage the beauty of embroidery, the marriage of old and new techniques and the creative freedom of the handmade print, the handmade appliqué and the fully embroidered sections that adorn many pieces of Maison Faliakos.
