CONQUISTADOR menswear
Under the creative
direction & ownership of Tassos
Sofroniou , Conquistador
Menswear introduced a new type of man
that came to stay. Rebel as we are, all we needed is clothes that
express our personalities in a way that mainstream brands could not.
Personally, I was sick of suits and ties and all I wanted was a
stylish black sweater that expresses my individuality and satisfies my
thirst to outstand in the crowd. Thanks to Tassos,
my dream label came to life in 2010 during Vogue's
Fashion night out,and with it a whole
other philosophy. The idea is the recreation of the modern warrior
that travels a lot and style for him is of crucial importance, so
what he wears must stand out, be comfortable, easy to wear and of
course stylish by its nature. There is no age nor sex that can't
wear Conquistador,
as everybody deserves to be “high” wearing something uber
magique. Cotton combined with “raw” materials such as leather,
thick silk, or even metal details are the materials used for the
Conquistador
clothes, and several ideal techniques that promote singularity and a
feel of modern sophistication. Luxury, comfort and style combined
together like heaven, but of course you will be wondering what about
the prices? Well as I mentioned earlier we are talking about a
non-mainstream brand, that came to stay and knows how to break the
rules. Tassos Sofroniou
did a lifelong research during his career that included
collaborations with legendary personalities of the avant guard
fashion scene such as the amazing
Isabella Blow and her partner in crime,
well-known fashion designer Lee McQueen,
photographer Richard Avedon
and David La Chapelle,
and several magazines
of huge success.
Having a distinctive style and point of view, and knowing exactly
what the industry was missing he created a brand that instead of
being unaffordable
has actually very logical
prices, especially when the clothes themselves scream luxury and
wealth.
