Greek-Cypriot, Paris-based designer Erotokritos (pronounced Air-rot-oh-crit-os) studied fine art and textile design in San Francisco and fashion at Studio Berçot in Paris, before launching his line in 1994. His distinctive collections of colorful jersey dresses and feminine lace blouses perfectly capture the essence of effortless Parisian chic - as well as the eye of celebrity clients, such as Kate Moss and Kirsten Dunst.
