Tzo Babaris is the designer behind the Greek Fashion brand JUJU DE KOKIMO, which means '' the charm of the warrior''. Tzo always loved designing most of her own clothes until she decided in 2011, in the heart of the economic crisis in Greece, to open a store with her creations in Pangrati, a neighborhood of Athens, the capital of Greece. Tzo uses silk, cotton and wool in a very creative and eco friendly way. What makes Juju De Kokimo so different and distinctive (besides its name) is the fact that each piece of clothing is handmade and unique, as it is offered in only one piece . So her clients are sure that no one else is going to wear the same piece of clothing. Tzo finds inspiration inspired in everything around her: the texture and colors of the fabrics she is using, by the different fashion cultures she sees in her trips around the world, by the styles of people she meets in her walks around the beautiful city of Athens. So, she can transform a traditional Japanese kimono into a beautiful coat, a woolen poncho inτο a very feminine dress .
