Remember Fashion in Athens

An essential see for enthusiasts of rock music or vintage fashion, this cult fashion boutique located in Psirri has been operational since punk rock’s peak years of the 1970’s, selling one-of-a-kind designer and second-hand fashion items with a retro-punk edge. In 1978, Dimitri Tsouanatos and his brother George Vanakos opened the shop, having been motivated by Greece’s newfound freedom after years of authoritarianism. It has been a hub of inventive and counter-cultural expression ever since.

Remember Fashion’s one-of-a-kind vintage clothing has been worn in concerts by many famous artists and has been displayed at cultural institutions in Athens and New York City. Iconic music bands, singers, and celebrities from the 1970s to present have sourced their clothing here: The Clash, Debbie Harry, Ramones, Iron Maiden, Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam, Lana del Ray, and Chloë Sevigny amongst others. Picture albums, letters, and memorabilia are exhibited throughout the shop.

Originally situated in Plaka, the shop relocated in 2016 to the trendy Psirri neighborhood. Dimitri is now semi-retired, so his son, Yiannis, has taken over the leadership. Having grown up working in the store, Yiannis knows its history very well; if you’re interested in hearing about it, he’s more than willing to share stories.

Situated in Psirri, very close to Plateia Iroon and Bougatsadiko Thessaloniki. The nearest metro station is Monastiraki, about a 450-meter walk away.
