THE ARTIST | DESIGNER
Chrissa is the photographer artist behind the TAIYETY label. Deeply influenced by Greek culture, modernist cinema and Eastern philosophy, she creates dreamy and evocative images that leave a lingering impression.
Chrissa always loved fashion, and exploring ways to print her photography on fabric is a favorite pastime. Early attempts include ironing prints onto t-shirts and experimenting with elements like zippers and buttons. The idea of wearable art lingered, and eventually led her to discover that fine materials like cashmere offer an ideal canvas for printing her photographic expressions.
When curating images for TAIYETY, Chrissa carefully chooses enchanting scenes from her journeys defined by intricate textures and details. With a spectrum of vivid colors and subtle shades, each scarf unveils a piece of her unique story, elegantly intertwining to form a visual narrative.
Chrissa finished her undergraduate education at La Verne University in Athens, Greece, before pursuing Photography studies at NESOP in Boston, MA. She is a renowned artist, showcasing her work both in the US and abroad, known for her captivating Collage art and photography. Follow her on IG @chrissamarkosphotography for more beautiful work.
