MICHAIL GKINIS is making meaningful clothes always progressing the Raison
d'etre into the wearers mind. The message he portrays is ` form follows function`
by the Bauhaus art movement. His admiration is to implement it not only in
clothing but as a purpose of life. Having this in mind he is applying the
amalgamation of
INDUSTRIAL / NATURE / HUMAN VALUES / THE SPACE WITHIN
as the fundamental inspirational engine and in order to express his awareness
about the modern social environment he is using clothing as a medium to communicate
with the rest of the humanity.
