Magic Athens

What is the link between chocolate and fashion?

Greek fashion designer Dimitris Petrou has been chosen as the ambassador to represent Greece in Cannes and celebrate the 25 year anniversary of “Magic” by Algida, one of the most popular ice creams worldwide. For this special occasion Dimitris Petrou designed an haute couture silk dress, inspired by the curves, the chocolate and the layers of a classic Magic ice cream, which will be sent in Cannes this summer, especially for an international 25-year celebration event.

The dress is ethereal and has a grecian touch. It is made of brown, creme and mocha pleated silk and is finished with a golden-lace belt. Couldn’t think of anything more appropriate.

Dimitris Petrou had a concept behind his summer collection and it was about the easy days of late August, about love and harvest, sunkissed faces and innocent thoughts. the most complete and even collection of the designer so far, with fine fabrics, sophisticated accessories and details.
