She expresses herself by combining seemingly incompatible elements and materials. Thomis loves working with leather and metal components as well as natural fibers, like wool, silk, and cotton, which are enduring and timeless. You’ll probably come across tartan pieces, shoulder pads, safety pins, and spikes added in tribute to the punk-rock culture, or geometrical shapes but never floral patterns or stripes. Her color palette consists of black, white, and grey mainly, with black being dominant. Shades of green for its calming and aristocratic feel are also included.
In the showroom, you will find limited collection items, usually one piece of each. Every item is unique because when working by hand you can never create something identical. Collections’ materials and fabrics are sourced from small local producers that we eventually get to meet personally and create bonds with through time. Sometimes, older materials are reused or recycled, and some accessories are made at home in the designer’s free time. Apart from designing limited collections, a big portion of Thomi’s time is dedicated to individual custom-made orders for special occasions like suits, evening gowns, and wedding dresses.
Thomi’s Papadimitriou style is minimal and avant-garde at the same time.
Contradictory, right?
Well, antithesis is what makes us move forward. She dares you to get out of your comfort zone and invites you to discover her dark world.
She is always inspired by something. But don’t confuse inspiration with trends. You can see that her collections’ influences derive from art and its movements; mainly the time period from the Renaissance to the Victorian Era and also the underground and punk-rock music stage, where “fashion” is present but not integral.
This monochromatic matching and minimal approach suit the designer’s mentality and way of thinking. But, above all, she wants her clothes to be characterized by great quality and functionality, able to be styled in many ways all day long and be defended by the one who wears them. Thomis believes that clothes do make the man but also vice versa.
