Athena Procopiou

Currently in awe of the new Narnia on acid work's by Athena Procopiou. Tim Walker meets Tim Burton via Hermés. Finding it pretty difficult to focus and pry myself away from such stunning examples of creativity.

Athena was born in Greece (hence the name) and grew up in Switzerland in a highly creative environment.

Like myself Athena was destined for life as a musician. She studied Piano at Switzerland's Conservatoire until the age of 18 when she decided to Study History of Art at Christie's in Paris. I too left the world of music at the age of 18 to pursue a career in a different artistic medium. After a two year stint in Paris she then moved to London and studied Illustration and Graphic Design at the prestigious Central Saint Martins.

After graduation Procopiou gained work collaborating with some of London's greatest design firms and fashion labels. As you can see on her website Athena Procopiu now runs her own successful fashion label designing her own prints and scarves. Not just a pretty face then!

The Enchanted Wood

As I compose this piece I am listening to Rachmaninoff Piano Sonata's drenched in the final droplets of my feral Robert Piguet Bandit extract.. good bye my green Bandit.
