Kostas Murkudis - Kostas Murkudis, Daab

For Kostas Murkudis, designing fashion is a general, encompassing way of communicating. In his collections he speaks of characters that have shaped his life. He is not driven by nostalgia, but rather esteem, and productive longing. As the son of Greek parents who arrived in West Germany from East Germany as a teenager, Murkudis is used to being &quot,strange&quot,. Thus, the supposedly irreconciliable is woven through his work like a finely spun subtitle, entrusting the recipient with a message, by giving up the sovereignty over his own work and transferring it to its wearer. Kostas Murkudis from Berlin started by working for renowned fashion designers such as Wolfgang Joop and Helmut Lang before he designed the very first collection of his own. This monograph is a poetic journey through the designer's realm of creation.
