WHAT WE DO: Founded in Athens, Greece, in 2013, les assorties began with a primary aim to showcase up-and-coming designers and emerging fashions through fashion news, outfit ideas, profiles and interviews, while also paying tributes to the people who left their mark in the industry.
After a wonderful year of blogging, les assorties relaunched to become a fashion blogzine that brings to the spotlight and gives voice to the next generation of creatives and professionals. Our aim is to search globally for motivating stories from inventive minds, and pass them on so you can hear their experiences first-hand through a collection of exclusive interviews.
In every interview, we sit down with professionals from every area of the industry, discussing aspects and challenges of their work – how they started, how they are building up and run their businesses – while, from their part, they share valuable insights, practical how-to-make-it-in-fashion advice and useful information about their field.
WHY WE DO IT: We want to provide a platform and encourage a dialogue among everyone like us: people (designers, publishers, bloggers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and mere fashion enthusiasts) infatuated with the industry we are trying to break into – the glittering world of fashion.
We hope that their work, vision and opinions will serve as a guide to understand the current status and determine the near future of fashion, as well as inspire, encourage, educate and empower anyone who currently works and everyone ambitious to join the industry.
Thanks for visiting; enjoy your stay; and join our community!
