Zeus + Dione, one of the best greek brands making a smash abroad is bringing the best out of greek tradition for its summer 2015 collection. Silk, leather, raffia, minimal folk patterns, comfort and high quality are the hit elements once again. Here is me trying my top selection at GB Corner, “Grand Bretagne” hotel in Athens, where Zeus + Dione is available.
Keys pendant by Aleemaki.
Clean cut, white pure and as simple as that.
You have to love the bias cut of this Zeus + Dione flared outfit composed by a loose blouse and a perfectly fitted skirt, made of wool and silk. As well as the sharp neatness of Yannis Sergakis fine jewelry: Two pairs of long Crochet earrings with diamonds made of pink and white gold and two Liens necklaces made of yellow and black gold with brown and white diamonds accordingly.

And this is how I intend to infuse some greek tradition in my everyday wardrobe.
The winter collection of Zeus + Dione is a cavalcade of handmade greek-folk inspired pieces made of the finest fabrics
like thick cotton, greek silk and woven wool.
The accessories series is enriched with some leather bags, shoes, belts and hand crochet wool pouches. As for the “Astypalea” cotton blouse and the high waisted trousers, this is my kind of perfect outfit.
Remember that Zeus + Dione maxi silk dress from Marie Claire Blog Awards? You can find it here in an off-white color.
Greek tradition offers unlimited inspiration to designers and
I can always use a loading dose of it every time a heatwave arrives in town.

Me and them, inseparable for the past ten days:
Ultra chic handmade leather sandals Zeus + Dione, linen and leather handmade pouch Candybag, the Yoga Tablet by Lenovo, so lightweight and thin it almost fits in the pouch!
Inspired by the parents of goddess Aphrodite, Zeus+Dione is one of those greek brands that relies on the long greek tradition and the history of the refined craftsmanship of long-hold technicians, handpicked manufacturers and small workshops from all over Greece. Silk from Soufli, cotton fabrics woven on the loom, handmade leather sandals and jewels are the keys to the summer collection, inspired by geometry, doric rhythm and timeless simplicity.
