NAMED CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF ALMA, HISTORICAL ITALIAN FASHION HOUSE FOR WHOM HE DESIGNS FOUR COLLECTIONS IN A ROW (F/W 2002-03 TILL S/S 2004).

 

IN 2002 HE LAUNCHES HIS MENSWEAR LABEL AND IN 2003

WINS FIRST PRIZE IN TEXTILES AT THE LYCRA DUPONT COMPETITION

 

IN 2006 HE PARTICIPATES AT THE PARISIAN HAUTE COUTURE SHOWS

 

ALTHOUGH THE CRAFTMANSHIP, COUTURE FEATURES AND EMPHASIS ON GREEK TRADITION, THE DESIGNS OF ANGELOS FRENTZOS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MORE CONTEMPORARY THAN "FOLK" SERVING AND REPRESENTING MODERN ATTITUDES. THAT'S WHY MUSIC, ART, PERFORMANCE, IMAGES AND OBJECTS HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE WHOLE PACKAGE, HAVING AS A RESULT A YOUNG COUTURE STATEMENT THAT RESPECTS TRADITION AND ROOTS.

 

AS A RESULT THE ANGELOS FRENTZOS BRAND HAS MANAGED TO BE "ACCEPTED" AMONG THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED OF FASHION, AND GAINED RECOGNITION IN MUSEUMS SUCH AS THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM IN LONDON AND THE KYOTO COSTUME INSTITUTE IN JAPAN.
