Ourania_Kay was born and raised in Athens. After graduating from London Metropolitan University with a bachelor with honors in Business Finance, she decided to combine her studies with her passion and her creativity and she left Athens to study in ESMOD Paris. After graduating, having her diploma in Fashion Design and Pattern Drafting, she worked with many great names in Fashion industry such as Hussein Chalayan, Grazia Paris, Salon de Pret-a-porter, and Premiere Vision.
Her designs always have a strong identity and innovative spirit while they elect femininity combined with structural lines and alternative fabrics. She is always inspired from things that we meet in everyday life and we never pay attention to such as social subjects, which most of the times are being considered taboos for the modern societies like her collection “Chapter 1: Urgent Cases” which was based and inspired from the straightjacket, introduced in the 8th AXDW and won the award for “Best Catwalk”
Her new collection Autumn/ Winter 2011/12, “Chapter 2//illusions” was inspired from futuristic elements and with the use of synthetic fabrics, strong metal colors and, by maintaining the elegant side of the female outfit, it creates a very impressive and modern collection with lines that sometimes embrace the female body and others, they result to volumes and symmetries, while her third personal collection s/s 2012 “le montAge du nuAge” proved that Ourania doesn't compromise with stereotypes such as using black as her basic colour or having "dark" concepts. On the contrary, she successfully played with colours, like grey and yellow, and forms that don’t comply with the geometrical stereotypes her previous collections had established.
