Filep Motwary

Born in Cyprus in 1977 to Cypriot and Syrian parents, Filep is a fashion designer, blogger, illustrator, photographer and journalist.

Motwary’s taste for fashion began in 99, when he began working as an assistant stylist for magazines such as L’Officiel Hellas, after graduating from Athens Fashion School. A year later, Filep was hired by Couture designer Loukia as her first Studio assistant designer, a collaboration that lasted until 2004.

Paris called after this and he spent a year working as an intern for John Galliano, Dior and Chloé.

Finally, Filep returned to Greece in 2005, launching his personal collection of womenswear, in a mutual collaboration with Jewellery designer, Maria Mastori. In the same year, Filep created his fashion blog, Un nouVeau iDEAL, check it out.
