Greek Light: Queen Calliope's World

Last summer I visited for the first time the shop of Calliope. 
The world famous Greek photographer has been a favorite of mine, a bohemian style icon, an accomplished professional.





Α kaftan came home from her collection


 I loved her work in her first book, a few years ago.
Now she is publishing her second book, 
Children of the Light, Journey in Greece, 
benefiting children charities.

Her Instagram is right here.
