The  31 March was illuminated by a glamourous gala evening and shows in one of the most prestigious buildings in Athens, the splendid Zappeion.

More than 500 guests admired the creations of the 16 most recognized companies, both for techniques and for style.

In addition during the fair a real model  fur laboratory was set up, where students were able to follow the very successful “Discover Fur Excellence” workshop.

This year I was nominated member of the jury that had the opportunity to evaluate young talents in the Designers’ Competition for young Greek designers, organized by HAF (Hellenic Association of Furriers) and sponsored by NAFA.

Young talents full of enthusiasm and energy, that we will certainly hear spoken about again.
