The hit of the Fashion East show, Marios has a taste for the severely sexy and elegant with echoes of Aläia. He channelled the 80’s to great effect with bodies and leotards slipped under high waisted pencil skirts in taffeta and velvet. Dresses are a real forté with a slim velvet sheath featuring sheer tulle at the top - a mere bandage of velvet covering the breasts, or a halter neck zip front style with flying layers of jersey on a neat pencil shape skirt. His work has echoes of Geoffrey Beene with a taste for surreal effects, like the top of the bodice of a sheath dress which appears to peel down, weighted by giant tassels, or the tiny bustle of a skirt which carves a fabulous silhouette but from behind peeps a panel of lace. A great new talent. HQ
