Christina Liakou

I have been working as a fashion journalist for several years. In the past, I have worked in fashion styling and visual merchandising, and for the last seven years I have been the Senior Editor of InStyle magazine—a role I stepped into after my career as a fashion editor.

After COVID19, I decided I wanted to disconnect from my life in Athens and return to the province, where I come from. To ensure that I would pursue work I truly enjoy, I chose to study again—this time interior design, specifically interior architecture, decoration, and object design—and I fell in love with it. For the first time in my life, I felt I could truly compare paths. I could imagine a life where I am not working as a fashion editor, not writing texts, not being involved in magazines, but instead designing and creating spaces.

In 2022, I completed my first project—a hair salon in Sparta, Laconia—and since then I have taken on various projects, including the full design of my own home, bathrooms, kitchens, retail spaces, and a cafe. I am currently working on my second retail project. At the same time, I still work as a Senior Editor of InStyle Greece, working hybrid and sharing my life between Athens and Sparta.
