View fullsize

Tourist ATH is influenced by elements of nature and his travels around the world and he loves to combine the electronic music with all the above.

He has shared the decks with the most renowned artists of the electronic music scene like AME, Black Coffee, Stephan Bodzin, Fideles, BLOND:ISH, Echonomist, Agents Of Time, DJ Tennis, Brina Knauss and more.

Tell us a bit more about you. Where are you from originally? What are your hobbies and your interests?

I was born and raised in a village of about 150 inhabitants in the northwest of Greece. I always loved music, so after I turned 18, I decided to follow my dreams and be involved with it in every way possible. My goal was to be able to turn my hobby into a profession so that I could not only enjoy myself but also make others happy too.

As of my hobbies, I love waking up early in the morning, go to the gym and then following hours in the studio.

 When was the first time you remember yourself being influenced by music?

That was definitely back in the nineties, when my father bought me my first cds. I remember listening to them at home at his high quality sound system, as he was a music lover too. That was something which has had a clear influence on me.

 What inspires you most when it comes to music?

I would say Travelling, which is something I am very fond of.

Who is your favourite music artist?

One of my favourite artists is Dixon. 

Your song ‘Keep On’ feat. Coco was quite a success back in 2021. Are we going to see new music from you soon?

 This is something I have been working on very hard lately. So yes, we will release new tracks this summer!

Where has the name Tourist Ath came from? Tell us more about it.

If I could describe myself in one word that would definitely be "tourist"

Single and ready to mingle?

 Free :)

As we already know you are based in Athens. Where can we see you playing at during the season?

I have a residency at Zelus Athens, where I play 2 Saturdays per month and it really feels like home to me. 

And what’s next?

I have achieved a lot so far but I never stop dreaming, as I believe that progress and self-development end when our dreams die.

JACK London drops limited swimwear collection

JACK London is well known for its dark aesthetic underwear and latex products. Even though, its first swimwear collection changed the rules.

View fullsize

Creative and Artistic Director David Jack noted down everything you need to know about the new swimwear pieces:

“These Limited Edition swimwear pieces were created in celebration of our fourth year in business for Jack. Jack's darker brand aesthetic using black as a base for most of the products, has been a signature style. Over the years we have learned our customers do in fact enjoy colour, so the decision to create a very limited launch using prints in full color was the perfect combination. Swimwear, also a new direction for the brand this summer, knowing people can't wait to get away after the year we have all endured.

Diving into colourful ocean corals, these Limited Edition pieces are inspired by geometric snake skin patterns and sea and water dwelling snakes. Still able to encapsulate details of our darker aesthetic with Gunmetal skull drawstring ends, keeping things stylish. Irregular print design enables each pattern piece to be strategically placed and cut from the fabric creating non uniform pieces. This enables pattern variations so no two swimwear pieces are the same, each garment entirely unique. 100% made and constructed in the UK, even down to the fabric printing. We brought in local seamstresses to keep the production small enabling top notch quality control monitoring.”

Made with chlorine and lotion resistant fabric with UV ray protection, these unique pieces are a great addition to an edgy summer wardrobe.

Tom Ford brings sexy back in New York Fashion Week

The American designer showed his first menswear runway collection in New York and we loved every single piece.

After a lot of menswear presentations in the past, Tom Ford has presented his first menswear show during New York Fashion Week. The show was so 'on point' and the designer gave us a taste from all the styles and pieces. Alongside snakeskin trousers and matching cowboy boots, pearlescent tailoring and sateen biker trousers, Ford shook things up with tassel loafers finished with chunky sneaker soles, a lemon-yellow hoodie (a Tom Ford hoodie? Yes, please) and a hefty python-print puffer jacket.

The classic tailoring pieces and simple overcoats are the brand's hero pieces so they were a strong element as well.

At the end of the show six-pack models walked in branded underwear and we have already chosen our favourite. 

Maison Margiela Men's AW18: Watch the full show from Paris Fashion Week

Discover highlights from the Autumn-Winter 2018  Maison Margiela Men’s Collection presented yesterday evening as part of Paris Fashion Week.

In his first menswear collection at Maison Margiela, creative director John Galliano joins together classic symbols of the men’s wardrobe by applying past and present house ideas into one forward proposal for a new glamour. interpretations of tailored pieces revitalize the classic form of menswear silhouettes.

Paris Fashion Week: Valentino AW18

Maison Valentino unveiled its AW18/19 collection during Paris Fashion Week which marked a new era for the legendary fashion brand.

Animal intarsia from the Valentino archive runs through the Men’s Fall/Winter 2018-19 Collection by Pierpaolo Piccioli leading the savoir faire Couture in the everyday routine.

The coat as a cover, the tracksuit as the new suit, the blouse as a base. The short bomber, the down jackets with an oversize VLTN logo created in collaboration with Moncler are paired with nylon messenger bags and the white sneakers becoming elements of a revised urban repertoire.

Milan Fashion Week: MOSCHINO AW18

Jeremy Scott amazed the fashion world during Milan Fashion Week as his new AW18 collection for MOSCHINO was the biggest fashion highlight during the weekend.

The collection was a mixture of Pre Fall and FALL for 2018-2019 and we have seen both menswear and womenswear collections on the runway. The mixture between the two was the key for the collection as the designer mixed  masculine and feminine in an assertively subversive way.

Two became one as we had overt dress codes of gender as well. Pent-up pinstripe suiting for her, florals, lace and frou-frou for him

London Fashion Week Men's AW18 - Highlights: DAY 3

The fashion caravan has already trundled off to Milan, but before we take a small break from our reports from Milan, here are a few parting words on some of the last day's highlights and shows.

---

Blood Brother

For AW18 Blood Brother takes a look into the Instant Win, Instant Lifestyle promised to us by the omnipotent force that is Camelot & The National Lottery.

Graphic prints continue to be a key feature of the Blood Brother style and with tracksuit on its best his AW18 show was the ideal proposal for the sartorial streetwear aesthetic.

The tailoring details were notable in the biggest part of the collection elevating the looks resulting the sartorial streetwear.

---

D.Gnak

A collision of elevated streetwear, traditional Korean silhouettes and Western tailoring, the Autumn Winter 18 collection sees Kang.D work mostly in dark velvets and rich, tactile wools, also introducing jacquards.

Only black and white fabrics can be found in the Autumn Winter 18 collection, resulting in a shadowplay of light and dark, opposing forces and natures.

Bobby Abley

Singer Kill A Son opened the Bobby Abley AW18 show which was the last one for this fashion week. 

Intense colours and playful combinations  on the runway with Looney Tunes and the heroes of Warner Bros to be the protagonists on the bold prints.

The designer managed to create a different world on the runway- Bobbyland; where everyone is Welcome.

London Fashion Week Men's Highlights: DAY 1

Saturday the 6th of January was the first official day of men's fashion celebration in London. The streets were full of bloggers and fashionistas, the shows were on fire and here are a few parting words on some of the first highlights.

JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN

John Lawrence Sullivan’s founder and designer, Arashi Yanagawa, opened London Fashion Week Men’s with a notable Autumn Winter 2018 collection which we loved here at REY. 

Leather, tailoring, purple and leopard print were some of the strongest elements in the show with the leather gloves to be the 'it' accessories. 

Styled by Anna Pesonen, the collection featured a certain degree of darkness with unambiguous references to films such as Twin Peaks, American Psycho, Matrix and Taxi Driver.

---

Ben Sherman x House Of Holland

Presented in a gallery inside Somerset House along the Thames, the show was a combination of dance performance and catwalk for the Ben Sherman x House of Holland collection.

The show featured 29 looks including track pants, fishtail parkas and some very natty Mod suits. Holland’s favoured graphics and the velvet pieces by Sherman were some of our favourite elements of the show but the most notable was the fact the Ben Sherman has sensibly recentered on its UK DNA. 

The show is the latest example of the new direction Ben Sherman had taken since its acquisition by American fashion investment vehicle Marquee.

---

Liam Hodges

We all know Liam Hodges as the one who usually break the rules and with his latest show, he did it again. Mix and Match outfits with intense colours,  and strong references from punks to the 90s kids tv shows, were some of the  elements of his AW18 collection.

Polka dots and cartoon graphics on knitwear came as another 'new trend' from the designer and they have been combined with Slim tracksuits, tartan trousers and denim pieces resulting the new wave mix and match aesthetic.

---

 Qasimi

Qasimi AW18 collection is definetely one that we love here at REY as it's so close to our style and aesthetic. Inspired by socio-political issues, architecture as well as contemporary art; the new Qasimi collection consists of boxy coats, structured jackets, tartan patterns and wide long trousers.

The colour pallet of the collection comes in contrast with the bold shapes as we note a big range of earth colours and soft shades of burgundy.

Editor's picks: December’s favourites

Five days before the new year and I can imagine us all around trying to find the ideal Christmas presents for our beloved ones. We usually search to find something that suits their favourite choices; whatever comes to music, fashion or arts and preferably their personal style. My December’s favourites are consist of a mixture of choices and activities. Some of them could be the ideal Christmas present, a different music proposal or your new ‘obsession’.

Converse x JW Anderson : GLITTER
2017 is the year that menswear broke the rules with a lot of innovative design proposals and collaborations. One of the collaborations we loved is the one with converse and JW Anderson. Jonathan Anderson and his team gave one more glam twist to the classic Chuck Taylor All Stars and Thunderbolts and it’s delightfully sparkly! I don’t think you could find more festive trainers from the glitter ones in various colour combinations for both men and women.

** And if you think the glitter converse can only go casual, try to style them with your velvet blazer and trousers!

Call Me By Your Name: 2017’s best movie
We know it came out at the end of October, even though “Call me by your name” is from the movies you will always want to watch again before its cinema exit. (last showing on the 30 th of January). A powerful love story played out in the early Eighties somewhere in northern Italy, in the impossibly glamorous Italian Riviera summer villa of an archaeology professor. The protagonists are the visiting academic Oliver (Armie Hammer) and the professor's son Elio (Timothée Chalamet).
 

Loreen’s new style & new album RIDE
Loreen is making the absolute most of her brand new record deal and the creative freedom that’s come with it. Eurovision’s 2012 winner is back on the scene with her second studio album RIDE and it has become our latest music obsession. RIDE combines mid- tempo, electro-pop and soft electronica tracks creating a dreamy and alternative music journey.

Her newest music proposal couldn’t be more completed as Loreen has changed her style too. The Moroccan-Swedish singer left behind her iconic fringe and she appears with shaved head on RIDE’s cover. The singer noted that she shaved her head as she doesn’t want to hide anymore. Loreen wants to express herself with the power which comes from inside her and the new album’s promotion appears on social media with messages which push people to trust their inner powers. “I feel a change is coming. A global change for equally, and Istand behind it" noted in Vogue Arabia. .

LE LABO: BERGAMOTE 22 eau de parfum
When it comes to fragrance it’s always more personal. I always like to explore new brands and aromas and last month I finally came across LE LABO. At my first visit at the new LE LABO Selfridges, I was impressed not only with the unique smells but with the customer's journey as well. Once I chose my favourite LE LABO scent, the team hand blended my bottle at my presence. After considering which cologne to choose I concluded to BERGAMOTE 22. The dazzling bergamot combines freshness, sweetness and sensuality with acrobatic talent. All these qualities were encompassed in the perfume’s initial code name: “Fire Cologne”

A Year Without George Michael

December 25, 2017 marks a year since the passing of George Michael. A music and fashion icon, an international pop star, a legend.  

During the year there have been many public tributes to the Greek Cypriot pop star around the world, from awards shows to symphonies and fundraisers. It feels like the end of an era but I don't want to forget. I don't want to stop writing about him, listening to his music and posting his pictures on social media.

With his Christmas single LAST CHRISTMAS charting at no. 3 in the U.K today, the pop music pays tribute to his legacy and marks his name on the top of the list for another one year.

Rest in peace George Michael... You will always be 'alive' for us, for the LGBT community and the world, for the music. Xx

JOVÅN SS18 : Exclusive Preview

He is one of the most innovative designers of his generation in Milan and every collection he presents, hides a mysterious story behind.  JOVÅN became more popular in London during 2016; when Olly Ines (Ollywood) was the main face of his campaign.

Nonetheless, I would like to introduce you the designer as well, before sharing with you an exclusive preview of his new collection.
REY Magazine will follow and use JOVÅN SS18 for many projects in the near future.

Jovan Stevanovic was born and raised in Serbia where in 2009 he debuted his first collection during Nivea Fashion Week. After positive feedback and critics, the self-taught designer has seen his collections featured in movies, TV shows, music videos and some of the most influential magazines and platforms.
After moving to Florence, in Italy, and graduating in fashion design, Jovan moved to Milan, establishing his menswear brand JOVÅN and became creative director for FBLP menswear and womenswear label established in Germany.

JOVÅN SS18 comes to add another one story for his collections, but this time more ironic and more personal. The SS18 collection consists of menswear and womenswear for the first time.

The aesthetic and the mood has still been fixed on luxury streetwear; even though the concept is deeper than you think. The designer decided to share his ex’s and friends’ perception of himself.

The ‘slogans’ on t-shirts and sweatshirts are ironically based on true events of people

Create your own Balenciaga t-shirt at Dover Street Market, London

Dover Street Market will be hosting a digital team to customize Balenciaga t-shirts, where you can design a unique print on a touch-screen or choose from a range of graphic images and logos.

It’s worth mentioning that all the visuals and logos have been created by Demna Gvasalia. The products, for men and women, will be available in white, grey, black, red and two alternative fits, and a message reading ‘BALENCIAGA DO IT YOURSELF Ts’ will featured on the back of the t-shirts.

The new space will launch on November 30 until December the 17. Dover Street Market will launch an exclusive colour of the Balenciaga Triple S sneaker on November 30 worldwide to celebrate the new collaboration.

This is not the first time that Balenciaga had the ‘copy shop’ idea as we have seen a similar concept by the brand at the Parisian concept store Colette in June.

(a hoodie with more refined tailoring).

Victoria Beckham to collaborate with Reebok

After an incredible collaboration with Estée Lauder, the absolute fashion icon did it again and this time she is going… athleisure! Victoria Beckham shared the news on Instagram and everyone is talking about her new  collaboration with sportswear giant Reebok.

"I am incredibly excited to embark on this partnership built on shared values. I have always championed instilling confidence in women and Reebok is a brand that has been at the forefront of this same message for decades.” Beckham shared in a statement

We have seen Reebok on collaborations with other designers Vetements and Cottweiler but the Victoria Beckham collaboration was something really unexpected.
We can’t wait to see the first design proposals from Victoria and enjoy the new products next year, as the collection will launch late 2018.

MrP: Mr Porter launches its first in-house line
