EDWARD STERGIOU x REY

We have first met him at Greece’s Next Top Model and we have been fans since day one!

He was so kind, focus on his mission and definitely one of the most handsome male models of the fashion TV show. He made it to the TOP 10 and he proved he can do much more outside the house of GNTM.

Edward Stergiou is one of the most popular male models in Greece today and he is officially the male ambassador of YSL Beauty in Greece.

When did you start modelling?

Everything started when I decided to put an end to my evolving football career and turn into something that was very intriguing and suspenseful for me at the time. I was 19 when I started thinking about the possibility of a new career in this exciting industry and all of a sudden I started to put all my efforts on that sector.

People loved you during Greece’s Next Top Model. You became one of their favourites, and us too. How was it after you left the fashion reality show though?

TV has the power to make success something that has being counted on followers or how much money you are making. Nevertheless, the love of the people is one the greatest gifts it can offer to you. What matters the most though, is how you will handle this popularity after the show and how picky you will manage to be since the job proposals will be defiantly too many.

Has the show helped you to develop more on your profile as a model?

The show helped me get a better connection with the Greek market which resulted in a great variety of jobs that followed. Greek fashion is quite limited and specific and I knew that before getting into the show, but I’m still grateful for the collaborations I have chosen to do so far.

Which moment from GNTM you will never forget..?

The show as a whole experience was a very special moment of my life, it is impossible to pick just one moment.

Are you going to watch Greece’s Next Top Model this season?

The hype around the show this year is very big, I would not want to miss it!

Now tell us a fashion moment you are proud of:

I’m really proud for what I have managed to accomplish in this industry big or small. From the Dolce & Gabbana show to some of great Instagram jobs I have done so far. I feel proud for the people I meet daily through this job. Getting rewarded for your hard work is life’s best present. ‘Hard or easy’, you always learn something.

Have you always wanted to be a model? Do you have any other male model as an inspiration?

From a very young age a had an interest in fashion. I was taking care of my self maybe more than other kids at that time. So I think it was always something inside me about being a model. I admire quite a few successful male models one of them is David Gandy.

Which job is your favourite so far?

YSL Beauty has chosen me to be theirs campaign ambassador for the 2022 cosmetics. The campaign and the message this campaign gave to the world are definitely what I love so far.

Any future plans you can share with us?

For sure there is always something cooking but allow me to reveal it when it’s done.

Are you in love this period?

I’m always in love with my job.

What is the song you are always listening to these days?

Hard Clo SS21 : The ''Is it Love'' Campaign

The Greek urban fashion brand HARD CLO unveiled its SS21 collection.

Get inspired by the director’s statement about the collection and discover the ‘‘IS IT LOVE’’ SS21 story below:

“Over the past few decades, it has often been said that we no longer have an addressee for our political demands.

But that’s not true. We have each other. What we can no longer get from the state, the party, the union, the boss, we ask for from one another.

And we provide. Lacan famously defined love as giving something you don’t have to someone who doesn’t want it.

But love is more than a YouTube link or a URL. This beautiful negative flip of what is commonly considered the most positive force

in the universe helps us begin to see love’s fullness and endless bounty, as based in emptiness and lack—in mutual loss.”

HardClo Spring Summer 2020: The Lookbook

HardClo unveiled the lookbook for its Spring/Summer 2020 “MAYDAY” collection.

The Creative Director Yiorgos Mesimeris notes,

“Drawing inspiration from Gericault’s Medusa, this collection is based upon the worst traits and the best virtues of the human nature. Hope, mirages, bad weathers and winds, treason. Everything coincides to become part of our reality, either political, personal or even environmental. All constitute hazards. Yet the will to strive and survive always got the best out of a worst-case scenario. When everything seems to have fallen apart, never-ending courage finds a gleam of light to cease upon. Chaumery was inadequate and traitor, Africa Battalion wanted what was rightfully theirs. Medusa was a hope in utter darkness. And a song we sang as children without knowing the consequences it carried.”

A strong oriental scent, crammed with fresh elements such as green bergamot, sage, and red and white pepper. In addition to this, the scent is then further-boosted by roasted amber wood, tonka bean, and cacao.

THE CAMPAIGN:

Featuring British actor Ed Skrein as the face of the new fragrance campaign. So good to be bad…

TASOS XIARCHO x REY Magazine

He is one of the most inspirational dancers and choreographers in Greece.

We fell in love with his eccentric style and attitude and we couldn’t wait until the moment of his collaboration with REY.

He works for some of the biggest names in Greece like Tamta and Eleni Foureira and he usually doesn’t stop on the choreography part as he loves creating the whole image of the projects he produces ( including styling and art direction).

Tasos Xiarcho is a true artist and we are sure he will always excel in Greece and Europe.

BOYS WITH FEELINGS

HARD.CLO SS19: The Collection

1961-1969

A continuing battle between the two biggest powers, Russia and America. Who will be able to conquer space first?

Yuri Gagarin, the first person who traveled in space orbiting the moon.

Neil Armstrong, the first man who walked on the moon.

The two faces forming the centerpiece of the Hard SS19 summer collection. Space may be unknown to us but has a story to tell, a story that has many ways to be told ...

Histories are written but we can write them again. The words - phrases depicted in the collection - tell their own story in a different - hard - way.

Hard.clo presents the new collection SS.19: "Houston we have a problem" describing this constant competition and putting the two protagonists in the focus.

Be a Storyteller

Hard.clo is an international brand of clothing and accessories based in Athens. The basic idea is to imprint a new language and maybe a new world. Using the Cyrillic alphabet to create bold statement. Each collection has limited circulation and its own Hard word printed on it.
