“Take Your Time” with Prokopis Agelopoulos welcomed Yorgo Stratouris, a fashion designer based in Peru, to the studio. Stratouris spoke about a lifelong dream that became a reality.
Through hard work, the successful entrepreneur built one of Lima’s most recognizable houses specializing in handcrafted men’s tailoring. Originally from Megara, Attica, with family ties to Athens and Kalamata, his journey is a classic story of a self-made man.
Before taking the leap and moving abroad, Stratouris worked in a completely different field in Greece, running a tire repair shop. His passion for fashion design, however, led him to radically change course. During the Greek financial crisis, he made the life-changing decision to sell his property and move to South America.
He settled in Peru, recognizing the potential of a growing market, and founded his own eponymous fashion house, “Yorgo Stratouris,” becoming one of the leading names in his field.
