Yiannis Evangelides (Greek: Γιάννης Ευαγγελίδης) was a Greek fashion designer. Evangelides was born in Cyprus and moved to Athens when he was 18.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} He married Vasso Kourtidi.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} Evangelides originally intended to become a pianist, but after designing dresses for his wife which she had made up by her dressmaker, he decided to go into fashion design.[1] Before World War II broke out in 1939, Evangelides was a couturier in Athens for 20 years.[1][2] Among his clients was the future Queen of Greece, Frederica of Hanover, who Evangelides described in 1958 as his easiest, least demanding client.[3] Frederica patronised Evangelides between 1938 and 1945.[4] His first New York show was held in January 1940, showing pleated gowns in blue and terracotta, with short decorative jackets and draped scarves directly referencing Greek folk costume.[5] In 1951 Evangelides had returned to New York, where he planned to stay and establish himself as a designer, not just of couture, but of ready-to-wear for the wholesale market.[1] Alongside his twenty years' experience in high end fashion design, he had also worked for five years as a designer for a wholesaler's in Capetown, California.[1] In 1954 Evangelides became a designer for the custom salon at Bonwit Teller, where his dresses, presented alongside imported Paris gowns, were noted for their use of tucks and pleats.[2] In 1958, Evangelides owned a dress shop on East 57th Street, titled "Yanni".[4] He offered his first ready-to-wear collection in 1958.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |last1=Staff writer |title=Designers are Attracted to America |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3423104/the_hutchinson_news/ |date=26 June 1951 |accessdate=16 October 2015 |work=The Hutchinson News |via=Newspapers.com}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Sheppard |first1=Eugenia |authorlink1=Eugenia Sheppard |title=Talented Greek Designing Here |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3423072/council_bluffs_nonpareil/ |date= 16 March 1954 |accessdate=16 October 2015 |work=Council Bluffs Nonpareil |via=Newspapers.com}} 3. ^{{cite news |last1=Staff writer |title=Potpourri |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3423163/medford_mail_tribune/ |accessdate=16 October 2015 |work=Medford Mail Tribune |via=Newspapers.com |date=30 October 1958}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Robertson|first1=Nan|title=Frederika of Greece Arrives Today With Wardrobe Fit for Queen; Sovereign Will Wear Clothes by Desses on Tour of U.S.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1958/10/21/archives/frederika-of-greece-arrives-today-with-wardrobe-fit-for-queen.html|accessdate=16 October 2015|work=New York Times {{subscription}}|date=21 October 1958}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=New York reporter|title=Grecian Gowns seen in Unusual Showing|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1946&dat=19400131&id=PH8uAAAAIBAJ&sjid=75gFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5198,5266125&hl=en|accessdate=16 October 2015|work=The Montreal Gazette|date=31 January 1940}} 6. ^{{cite news |last1=Staff writer |title=Silk Fabrics Star in Fall Fashions |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19581001&id=3WIvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VUgDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7302,102067&hl=en|accessdate=16 October 2015 |work=The Deseret News |date=1 October 1958}}
