Tell us why Greece was chosen as the shoot location?

Greece holds a special place in our hearts and has always been a dream to shoot there. Evangeline is Greek so it’s fun seeing her in her element there.

Must-have essentials on a shoot day?

Coffee, water, music and eventually wine.

Favourite piece from Drop 2?

S: The Layla Top

E: Adeline Dress, the fit is just too good on everyone

Where do you source the styling pieces for shoots?

We source our styling pieces from all over, most of the time they come from our personal wardrobes and we find most of our shoes on vintage websites. During this trip we spent some time sourcing vintage items throughout vintage stores all over Europe.

Best spot for an afternoon drink?

Anywhere with a view of the Acropolis, there are so many spots in Plaka but we love the rooftop at the Electra Hotel in Plaka, or Ermou 18.

Favourite restaurant:

Hoocut for pitta, Taverna Klimataria for traditional Greek food, and Vezené for modern Greek.

Accommodation recommendations:

Anywhere in Plaka.

A must-have greek dish to try:

Gyros, Spanakopita, Loukoumades, just all of it! Try it all!

Secret spot you can share with us:

It’s not so secret but maybe a little underrated, Mount Lycabettus for sunset.

Shopping guide:

We could spend days looking at all the Byzantine inspired jewellery around Plaka.

Favourite museum:

The Acropolis Museum, the ancient excavation site is wow.
