REMEMBER

Amongst the sea of souvenir shops and gyro stands in Plaka, Clay and I stumbled across one of the coolest boutiques in Athens. Established in 1978, Dimitris Tsouanatos and George Vanakos created a unique fashion boutique inspired by the punk era, London style, and the trends of the time - Remember. The shop is frequented by rockstars such as Iron Maiden, Sex Pistols, and The Ramones, as well as many other models, actors, actresses, photographers, and celebrities. Apparently we missed Chloƫ Sevigny by a few days! After having a long chat about fashion and rockstars with one of the store employees (wish I got his name!), I decided on this awesome tee designed by Tsouanatos. If you're ever in Athens you have to check out Remember (79 Adrianou Street Plaka, Athens, Greece ) and rifle through all the amazing vintage, hand-painted, one of a kind items as well as the art installations scattered throughout the boutique (the half man, half woman mannequin in the storefront is awesome). Check out the Remember website here.
The canola fields in Manitoba look gorgeous at this time of year. Check out Raez's field photoshoot in her new photography blog here!

Wearing hand-painted tee from Remember, H&M skirt, Aldo heels, Urban Outfitters cropped jacket, woven mati bracelet from Athens, Le Chateau sunglasses.
