Career
Gogos founded the fashion label Iordanes Spyridon Gogos in 2019 after working in New York on his furniture brand GOGOS and studying at Parsons School of Design. [4] [5] The label is known for being experimental, non-gendered and innovative in its approaches to sustainability through practice-led design research methodologies, and is notable for its 'wearables' which repurpose existing textiles and materials. Unlike many other Australian fashion labels, Iordanes Spyridon Gogos do not stock or sell their clothes in retail stores. [6]
The label debuted at the 2021 Australian Fashion Week with over 25 different artists and collaborators to widespread acclaim. [7] [8] [9] Since his debut, he has presented at Australian Fashion Week annually and was awarded Emerging Designer of the Year by the Australian Fashion Council. [10] [11]
