5 Questions with Chris Kontos

Sanpetuna

1. You are the creative soul brain behind Kennedy Magazine that most of our readers might be familiar with already. But could you maybe describe with your own words what Kennedy Magazine really is about? 

Kennedy began as an idea in 2012—a way to open a window to the world. Greece can sometimes feel a bit off the map, even now.

The magazine is about people: people I admire, people I know, people I’ve met, or hope to meet someday. It’s also deeply personal—a reflection of my thoughts, my life, and my experiences. Perhaps that’s why so many people can relate to it. At its core, Kennedy is a magazine about life.

2. Menswear and craftsmanship are themes within the pages of Kennedy Magazine. How do these elements fit into the world you are showing? 

I like clothes, and since the start we had a column for clothes that slowly disappeared from our pages but occasionally we might feature something abut clothes. A lot of my friends have small brands we always support that through our pages. Small craftsmanship, quality, independent business..

Lately, I found myself more confident mixing classic garments, such as a jacket or coat, with more casual and vintage clothes, in order to be able to mix styles, cloths, fabrics, layers, to create something unique for myself.

3. Coming to your personal style. How would you describe your approach to dressing? 

I prefer my style to be understated—nothing loud or over the top. I avoid looking like I’m trying too hard. Navy is my go-to color (I know, it’s not the most exciting choice). Most of the time, I stick to a nice jumper paired with a blazer or coat, and I usually wear denim. My approach is all about looking sharp without overdoing it. A good pair of shoes can effortlessly elevate even the simplest outfit.
