Their daily life is filled with the creativity of designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier, Francois Girbaud and Katharine Hamnett.

Mind The Gap
Somewhere between the avant garde, the very expensive price tags, the timeless aesthetics of Yamamoto and the punk sensitivity of Vivienne Westwood, something was missing. Something more price friendly yet still progressive. And so, this group of dreamers, passionate about fashion and music, decide to take action.
In 1984, NO NAME was born and they filled a gap in the Greek market for innovative and affordable, contemporary men’s fashion. The first store opened in the cult area of the capital of Greece, in Athens , at Athinas Street (!) in Monastiraki area, where Greeks and tourists of the time, had as a reference point for its unique underground, subcultural vibe and youth activity. The group of friends and now designers, express the pulse of their personal expression in all their collections and become the talk of the town, in record time. Their collections embody a clear design identity, that leads beyond the privileged few, with deep wallets and allow access to everyone who lusts the need to look and feel authentic, in affordable prices.
