Elena Makri Mykonos Swimwear

Grecian resort wear inspired by the myths of Mykonos that’s too good to get wet… almost. Elena Makri Mykonos swimwear and resortwear has officially landed in the Middle East and is exclusive to our favourite shopping hotspot, Harvey Nichols – Dubai.

Whilst Mykonos is a more familiar island, it’s actually Delos that originally caught the attention of designer and former editor-in-chief of Vogue Greece, Elena Makri. Delos is located just a few miles away from the more cosmopolitan Mykonos, near the centre of the Cyclades archipelago and is one of the most important, archeologically speaking, in Greece.

Ancient Greece and its mythological narratives are seeing a real revival through films such as Wonder Woman, brands like Ancient Greek Sandals, and there are plenty more treasures of the glory of the Greek civilisation, to be revealed in the Aegean Sea. Elena Makri, as a designer and habitant, is drawn to the legends of the land; the beauty of its artistry and the simplistic luxury of the fashions of this age old world.

Her collection draws on the almost modern expertise and craftsmanship displayed in the ancient murals and statues, ensuring each of her pieces are handcrafted and organic,  paying real attention to the functionality of the finer details, such as gilded broaches and necklaces, to ensure the the adornments are perfectly capable of being worn over and over again.

D1 Milano is actually pronounced ‘The One’ and is known for its rubberised style, which has a huge following in Asia. Launching their first local pop-up at SOLE DXB this year gave them an urban edge, as their affordable luxury collections were in high-demand, having just launched their exclusive and lim.ed. ‘Dubai’ watch too.
