Konstantinos Simeoni was born in 1969 in
Thessaloniki Greece.
He graduated from high school in 1986 and then went to the "VELUDAKIS
FASHION SCHOOL" in Athens, where he studied fashion design. After his
graduation from there and his Master's course at "ISTITUTO DI MODA
BURGO" in
Milan, he returned to Thessaloniki.
He created his fashion house in 1996 and six months later his
Boutique. Since then, he creates his collections every
season, which he presents in his personal fashion shows in Thessaloniki
and Athens. His fashion shows are
chosen and shown on FASHION TV as a representation of Greek Fashion
Design. Simeoni today, is one of the most promising and important Greek
fashion designers of the new era.

Since his beginning, he has managed to
stand out due to his personal style, his finesse and his unusually
advanced design.
Besides his prêt-a-porter line, he signs and designs a collection of
inspired wedding dresses and a line of exclusive evening clothes. His
work is characterized by the outstanding sewing, a high sense of
elegance and the most lavish materials. He always chooses fabrics of
natural fibers and intervenes, giving them a new more advanced image by
placing other different colored pieces of fabric in various shapes of the
main clothing and embroidering them with multi colored feathers, beads and
crystals.

His progressive ideas and his natural Mediterranean way of expression
are visible not only in the design, but also in the radical new way he
cuts his pattern, so as to embrace and emphasize the best elements of
the female shape.
His creations are marked by the Mediterranean sun and the Greek nature.
His identity and culture are revealed.
The colours reflect all the happiness of the Greek attitude.
The woman is filled with femininity and character.
Simeoni expresses himself through his art by cooperating with other
forms of art, which lead him until now to participate in many
exhibitions in galleries with other artists.
Believing that fashion can contribute to society helping the less fortunate of this world, ever since his first
show, all the profits go to philanthropist organizations, who rewarded him
for his contribution to their important social work.
