As a member of the Hellenic Fashion Designers Association, Dimitris Dassios started to present his costume jewellery creations in private catwalk shows since 2005.
In 2006, the world famous Maria Louisa Poumalliou bought the entire collection of Dassios jewellery for her homonymous boutiques in Paris and Qatar.
In 2007, Dimitris Dassios presented on catwalk a unique denim jacket collection that meant to be a milestone in his career in fashion.
The same collection was presented in Milan and Paris in various showrooms and International Fashion Shows.
Influential fashion boutiques like:
Gio Moretti, Biffi, Luisa via Roma, L’ eclaireur, Henri Bandel, Vakko , as well as many other high end fashion stores around the world bought the dassios denim collection so as to present a new approach to their clientele.
Armand Hadida, the owner of L’ eclaireur boutiques and TRANOI fashion Show, bought the collection of dassios denims when he attended to the designer’s catwalk show “I Arta ke ta Yiannena” that left an unforgettable memory to all attendees.
From that moment, the dassios denim jackets started to record a course towards success.
Soon, and by constant presentation in the fashion trade fairs, the dassios denim line created a trend in the ethnic approach of design for many designers to follow.
Haute Couture moulage is mainly used by the designer in which the fabric is sculpted directly on his mannequin through its manipulation with pins and a pair of scissors.
Draping the fabrics, by giving them geometrical shapes, along with the application of unique and handmade decoration elements, the designer brings a highly desired identity in each design making it one-of-a-kind.
After creating all samples by himself, the designer teaches his team how to reproduce them in sizes, as draping does not follow the usual pret-a-porter pattern cuttings. In this form all dassios designs become unique pieces of art.
