The Greek from Salamina that has Fascinated Brooklyn with his Handmade Jewels

Still unknown in his home country, yet extremely successful in New York. That’s how the story goes for the Greek Evangelos Katsoulias, whose handmade jewels exposed in Atlantic Avenue of Brooklyn have become really popular among New York women.

Evangelos Katsoulias managed to cross the borders of his country and become famous on the other side of the Atlantic thanks to his major talent.

The beginning of his collaboration with the known boutique “Drape NY” was covered by the biggest fashion magazines of New York http://drapeny.com/the-designers.  Many celebrities attended the opening of the boutique but Katsoulias shined the most. He is a low-profile person who tends to avoid publicity and prefers to express himself through his work. “I prefer the shine of gold which I work and give shape to rather than the shine of show-biz that fades pretty easily”, he explains.

He has chosen to live away from the big lights and the massive crowds. He dwells on the island of Salamina, where isolated, he can find inspiration for his next collection’s main theme in everyday things, such as a walk on the beach or the sunset, as the thirty-three-year-old Evangelos explains to the Greek newspaper Proto Thema.

Despite the fact that his jewels are made for American consumers, E. Katsoulias never misses a chance to express his Hellenic identity. Ancient Greek patterns, as well as classic and byzantine shapes, are always part of his collections. He is currently preparing his winter collection that will be launched in 2013. For now, the NY women are enjoying the summer collection of handmade jewels by… “Evan Katsoulias”.
