Kostas Murkudis

A comprehensive monograph on the work of the internationally acclaimed fashion designer Kostas Murkudis. The son of Greek parents, Kostas Murkudis grew up in Dresden

on his own. This book shows thirty years of his creativity,
inviting the reader for the first time to get as close as possible
to his artistic approach. The book is centered around particular
aspects of Murkudis’ designs, such as color, material, and form.
Illustrations and photographs taken from the artist’s lookbooks,
fashion shows, and sketches, along with an extensive interview
make this the definitive resource on an exciting designer whose
influence spans continents and decades. The publication
includes personal contributions by many influential people from
the world of fashion and culture, such as Mark Borthwick, Terry
Jones, and Helmut Lang.
