When did you start modelling and how?

I started modelling one and a half year ago. I was at the Athens Exclusive event when a scouter/model came to me and asked me if I was interested in modelling.

Do you ever get shy in front of the camera?

No!

Runway or Editorial?

Both.. I can’t choose! Editorial is good because you can use the photos for your book. The runway is fun because you get to meet a lot of people, from different cultures with diverse ideas and it’s really important!

Is there anything else besides modelling that you would like to do?

I want to be an actor. I think I will be good at it because being a model and doing editorials it’s almost the same thing. Every photoshoot has a story behind it, for example in one shoot I will be ‘the bad boy’ and in another ‘the business man’.

What do you do when you are not working?

I dance! All the time

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hmm.. I think I’ll be engaged, or in a serious relationship, have my own place, be independent and happy.

Secret Talent?

I design my own clothes which is really creative

5 things you can’t live without?

Internet, friends, food, sun and sex!

You've got a lot of tattoos.. Tell us about them!

I didn’t do them because of the trend! I’ve done them for me. I had them before modelling. Most of my tattoos represent something from my life.

Did your tattoos help you book more jobs?

Yes and No.. I've lost a lot of jobs because of them but I've also booked a lot because of my tattoos.

Cats or Dogs?

Dogs!

Are you a Facebook or Twitter guy?

Facebook

Favourite place in the world?

New York, I’ve never been but I will go there one day

Describe yourself in one word

Spontaneous

Let’s talk about girls now.. Red lips or Natural?

Red lips!

Blonde or Brunette?

I don’t really mind, depends on the woman

What do you first notice in a girl?

Smile and eyes

You started modelling one and a half year ago.. how many runways and editorials have you done so far?

Well, I’ve walked for Givenchy, Philipp Plein, Rocobarocco, Frankie Morello, Bikkembergs and Jean Paul Gaultier, so 6 in total! Most of the editorials I've done are for Greek magazines like Esquire, Homme, Life & Style and Cosmopolitan. I've done the lookbook for Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris as well.

I also worked with music artists in Greece, like Despoina Vandi and Elena Paparizou, for their music videos.

How do you feel that you are just 21 and you achieved so much in the industry already?

I feel very lucky and blessed because I have the chance to travel a lot and meet quite interesting people :)

Stefanos aka ‘Greek God’ ! Model and hip hop dancer - Incredible guy, fun, relaxed and talented

We find it kind of strange that he is not with an agency in London yet.. let’s hope he will be soon! v&f xx

Recently we visited one of the leading model agencies in London, the only male model agency the UK, AMCK

Even if the agency was founded in 2008, they managed to become one of the top agencies in such a short time. Models from AMCK worked on campaigns for labels like Givenchy and Prada, and editorials in famous fashion magazines like Vogue Hommes, GQ, i-D, and AnOther Man.

It was an unforgettable experience! Modern decoration, inspiring interior, friendly environment and a positive energy was our first feelings and thoughts.

Walking in the agency and meeting the Men’s agent Patrick Egbon-Marshall made us feel very welcomed. We had a chat with Patrick, and from his words we realised that he is very open-minded and he absolutely loves his job. We think this is the secret of success!

Meeting and interviewing the models was really fun and interesting! The moment that made us realize how bonded they all are, it was when they surprised one of their models with a birthday cake! Such a sweet gesture :)
