The pandemic has changed many aspects of life including my shopping habits. I still love my favourite brands but I’ve focused my attention to smaller boutiques that really focus on quality and lifestyle. One in particular is Modern Lusso, a European brand that focuses on Greek life, culture and style, based in Annapolis, MD.

Modern Lusso was developed by Niko Kokkinos, who spends his summers in Greece and wanted to bring his love for his country and culture to fashion conscience individuals in the US. You can shop the latest Grecian inspired products on the redesigned website: www.shopmodernlusso.com.

I recently met up with Niko to chat about the progress and future of the brand. Last time we spoke, we were nine months into the pandemic and the brand’s production was at a temporary standstill. Though we’re still in the pandemic restrictions have been lifted and Modern Lusso is able to bring Greek fashion, culture and style to the American market again. The most recent collaboration is with Amigis Greek Olive Oil and I must tell you, it is a smooth, rich and full flavored olive oil. I bought a bottle for my dad, who is Greek and an olive oil connoisseur, he was very impressed with the selection of olive oil.

One of a kind jewelry statement pieces really complete any look and to find such unique pieces shop Stories2Wear. Each piece is inspired and hand-etched with ancient Greek patterns. Just look at the the delicate details on these earrings. And what makes them the perfect accessory (for me) they’re pink! The Calypso etched hoops are the perfect statement piece to complete your summer look.

Modern Lusso plans to collaborate with more Greek brands while expanding the in-house brand that is Modern Lusso. Niko has a vision of more in-house designs, expansion into swim wear, Luxury Travel while embracing the European way of life…quality over quantity. The e-commerce boutique has been able to bring a sample of Greece to the states with success. His immediate future plans include pop-up shops in Annapolis and the Washington DC area, giving shoppers immediate access to Grecian style. No matter the look you’re striving for, there is a unique piece that will fit your personal style. Now go and experience the culture and life style that is Modern Lusso.
