The Transparent, Lustrous Collection of Kostas Murkudis

Born of Greek parents in Dresden, Germany, Kostas Murkudis studied at Berlin's Lette-Verein School, which was founded in 1866 by the German lawyer Wilhelm Adolf Lette, who wanted to boost employment for women.

At first, Kostas expressed more interest in chemistry but, later, he discovered greater interest in fashion, going on to work as Helmut Lang's assistant for about seven years.

Influenced by architecture and lighting, Kostas designs a sleek, minimalist silhouette for men. In an interview with Fashion Copious, Kostas stated of his 2009 a/w collection: "Fall is about glass and protection: the colors and shapes behind glass."

Moreover, Kostas collaborated this season with the 210-year-old Johnstons' company, which has been weaving Scottish wool in Elgin since 1801!
