Yannis Laskos was born in Athens in 1976. From an early age, he displayed a natural inclination toward creativity. In 1997, he studied Fashion Design at Veloudakis Fashion School and soon after began working in the fashion industry as an assistant stylist for Votre Beauté magazine. His talent for design was recognized in 1999 at the Madame Figaro contest for emerging Greek designers, and in the same year, he collaborated with Yannis Tseklenis as an illustrator designer.
From 2001 to 2005, he served as head designer at a well-known Greek prêt-à-porter company. A year later, Yannis Laskos took on the role of Creative Director at the renowned fashion house Konstantinos Melis by Laskos. For ten years, he signed all the haute couture collections presented by the brand. Through his creations in both couture and bridal lines, the designer redefined the silhouette of the Greek woman, merging theatricality with romanticism, sensuality with geometry, and femininity with structure.
Highlights of his career include the presentation of the Heresis collection at the Foundation of the Hellenic World, the design of costumes for the opera La Sonnambula at the Greek National Opera, his collaboration with the American brand Eastpak in 2013, and the feature of his work in the Italian edition of Vogue.
In 2018, he founded his own brand, LASKOS, making a dynamic return to the fashion scene. Within the private space of his atelier, visitors can experience his custom-made creations and the entire ritual behind the process of exclusive, bespoke design.
In 2020, Yannis Laskos made his television debut as a fashion coach and member of the judging panel on the daily TV show Style Me Up — a makeover program focused on fashion and personal style transformation.
For Yannis Laskos, design is a means of expression. He only creates when he has something to communicate through his work. Architectural silhouettes with a minimalist spirit, elegance, and sensuality are the elements that define his collections.
In the spring of 2021, Yannis Laskos unveiled his first Ready-to-Wear Limited Edition YL collection.
The collection featured high-quality hoodies, sweatshirts, t-shirts, socks, jockeys, beanies, backpacks, and beachwear, as well as beauty products and home accessories — all designed with the creator’s refined aesthetic and timeless signature.
The YL collection continues to be released annually, with new additions that reflect the brand’s contemporary identity and evolving style.
In the spring of 2023, he returned with the custom-made eveningwear collection The Colorful Collection — a line of vibrant evening creations in bold colors and geometric cuts, with a strong emphasis on femininity, a defining element of his work.
A milestone in Yannis Laskos’ career was his participation in the Haute Grecians show in June 2024. His REBIRTH collection received rave reviews from the fashion industry and beyond. The haute couture collection stood out for its innovative techniques, precise patterns, and avant-garde design.
In October of the same year, Yannis Laskos returned with REBIRTH² at the MADWALK 2024 fashion show, with Betty Maggira as his muse. The collection radiates strength and consistency, reflecting the natural evolution of REBIRTH through the atelier’s signature craftsmanship and creative imprint.
Almost all the personalities of the Greek star system have chosen the creations of Yannis Laskos. His creations have also been featured in theatre performances, films, opera, classic ballet, as well as in other events. Magazines and websites of the Greek and international press, have done feature articles about the designer and his work.
