Axia Spirit at Hautes Grecians 2026

Fashion and Mediterranean spirit at the Byzantine and Christian Museum

On 9th June, Axia was invited as a drinks partner at Hautes Grecians 2026, held this year in the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens. Now in its eighth edition, the event gathered designers, creatives, and press for an evening built around this year's theme, "Vespera: Divine Shadows."

 

 

At the Bar

Guests were welcomed with Axia serves at the bar, alongside Axia Extra Dry Mastiha Spirit poured neat and over ice. Distilled from the resin of the Mastiha tree found on the Greek island of Chios, Axia is a low-sugar, extra-dry, 40% ABV spirit produced using a centuries-old distillation tradition adapted for modern taste.

 

 

The Collections

Set among the museum's collection of Byzantine artefacts, the show presented work from four designers: Daphne Valente, Deux Hommes, Stelios Koudounaris, and Athanasios Vasileiadis, the evening's featured emerging talent. Each collection responded to the "Divine Shadows" theme in its own way, drawing on the museum's setting and its centuries of religious and cultural history.

 

 

In Athens

Hautes Grecians has run annually since 2018, bringing together Greek and international designers in venues across Athens. This year's edition marked Axia's continued presence at the event as a Mediterranean spirit rooted in Greek production, from Chios to the bar.
