Each range anoints a different city as muse. Edgy and intellectual, 2WO+1NE=2’s unconventional collections draw inspiration from world literature, architecture, cinema and travel. What’s the story: Since debuting in 2017, the monochrome designs of Athens-based duo Stella Panagopoulou and Valisia Gotsi have become something of a fetish among the city’s fashion and art pack.

No surprise then that impromptu pavement parties often erupt on this buzzy, graffiti-strewn strip, with Panayiotis spinning vinyl in-store until 1am. Panayiotis moonlights as a music producer and has an underground electronic label, Asty Tekk. We found a great vintage men’s shirt updated with an ironic old-school Nokia phone graphic and saucy nude mesh bodysuits with kitsch prints, a collaboration with Greek designer Liana Mavronanou. Score clubby garments by Berlin brand No Shade and We Buy Gold (from the UK) and PVC raincoats by Foresight (a steal at €40). Most of the pieces are pocket-friendly and personality rich. Label scout Panayiotis Vaxevanakis has rounded up a cool crew of small Greek and European designers and champions them on two black racks in a narrow shop that’s half showroom, half urban hangout. What’s the story: A new word of mouth hit on the Athens streetwear scene, this fresh little space in Psirri, a few doors down from edgy hangout Handlebar, has big energy. Signature look: Witty, modified vintage and affordable threads with underground attitude-for people whose passion is music and fashion.
