I could have sworn I previously posted something about Dimitra Petsa and her eponymous line Di Petsa but I can't find anything in the archive. So here we go:
Dimitra Petsa is a Greek designer who graduated from Central Saint Martins (the storied London instiution with alums like, oh, Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton, Stella McCartney, John Galliano, Gareth Pugh, Riccardo Tisci, Grace Wales Bonner, Kim Jones, Simone Rocha, Craig Green, and Richard Quinn to name a few). Ostensibly a womenswear designer, she pioneered the "wet-look" dress worn by loads of celebs...but she inserts a handful of men's looks into her collections as well. Much like how Dolce and Gabbana use the culture and long history of their native Italy as a touchstone and endless source of inspiration, Petsa's hyper-sexy, sometimes breast-bearing shows always refer somehow to Greece and the mythology of that ancient land.
The brand's logo is a cross that resembles Poseidon’s trident and this Spring Summer '26 collection at London Fashion Week referenced the god directly on a tee shirt. The precious few male looks featured pieces evoking ancient Greek warrior-wear, and even one of her signature wet-look dresses for men!
