French Fries Goes backstage Madwalk 2019 Athens

French Fries and photographer George Stratigis @stratigis take you backstage at Madwalk Athens 2019.

Radical stems from the content and not necessarily from the form, Sotiris Georgiou collection S/s '19 inspired from the belief of artist Steven Parrino, blending once again modern art & fashion. The 1970s, '80s and' 90s are redefined among the legendary subcultures in order to reconstitute as new reference points and promote the social diversity of today. Εxtravagance, risk, sensuality, vitality, nostalgia, body, pleasure, elements strongly reflected in metallic fabrics, cotton, cool wool, anorak and yield visual characters that are simultaneously stepping in the past and the future.

Presented by the GNTM's top model Iliana Papageorgiou, welcoming the audience to the open act with FY, interpreting the song "They Do not Want Me".
