Early life and education

Nicolas Petrou was born in Nicosia, Cyprus to Spyridon Petrou and Eleftheria Efthimiou. After graduating from high school, he moved to London where he completed his foundations studies in art and design at Harrow College. He then attended the Regent's American College in London before enrolling in the fashion design graduate program at

Central Saint Martins. He graduated from Saint Martins with a Master of Arts degree in 1992.

Career

Petrou moved to New York in 1993 where he began designing for several fashion houses, receiving rave reviews for his collections. In 1995, the New York Times applauded Nicolas Petrou and his then design partner, Michael Lund as fresh, new talents.[1] His collections have been featured in fashion and other prestigious publications, including the cover of WWD, T Magazine of The New York Times, Dazed and Confused, Seventh Man, V- MAN, Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Numero, W, Interview, Metal and The New York Times.[2] Additionally, Petrou has dressed many celebrities, such as Lady Gaga[3] and Beyoncé.[4] In 2011, Petrou was featured in the fashion book, Not A Toy: Radical Character Design in Fashion and Costume by Atopos and Vassilis Zidianakis.[5]

PETROU

Petrou launched his private label, PETROU with a store on Madison Avenue in 2006.[6] The store featured a high-end womenswear line.[7]

PETROU\\MAN

In 2009, he launched a high end menswear collection under the name PETROU\\MAN that sells in the US and Hong Kong.[8] The high-end menswear collection offers a "fresh twist in men's wardrobe".[9] The debut collection, which Dazed Digital described as a deconstruction of sportswear, featured masked skins with colorful patterns, including star-spangled motifs.[10] His second collection "was inspired by the lives of nomads and applied their travels to his signature mix of sportswear...creating a rich, unusual texture achieved through his combination of fabrics and prints".[11] For his Spring 2011 collection, he mainly used beige and navy, mixed with tribal and ethnic prints and elaborate headpieces of colorful birds, butterflies, and tin toys. In an interview with Dazed Digital, Petrou said that the collection was a mélange of Western style with Pacific Islander and African influences.[12]

audience by PETROU\\MAN

In March 2013, Petrou launched his spinoff label, a diffusion line called audience by PETROU\\MAN. The debut collection received rave reviews and one of the pieces was included in "The Top 10 Items from Fall/Winter 2014" list of The New York Times T Magazine.[13] Inspired by abstract painting, Petrou experimented with tie-dye and acid-wash techniques on mixed textures of cotton and wool to create unique silhouettes.[14]
