17 questions to a well-dressed man – Takis Stournaras
Takis Stournaras is a gentleman living in the beautiful city of Athens where he runs the finest fabric shop in town. The finest Italian fabrics are to find in his shop from weavers like Zegna, Loro Piana, Piacenza, Ariston and Caccioppoli among handmade accessories from suppliers like E. Marinella and Francesco Maglia. Takis has a passion for fabrics and dressing well. It’s not often you see Takis in just a navy suit, he likes to play with patterns and always chooses the finest fibres. His outfits can be admired on Instagram and Facebook where you can also find the address of his shop in Athens. For now I’m very happy that Takis took the time to answer the ‘’17 questions to a well-dressed man’’ and I hope you enjoy his answers.
