One of the great things about fashion is that it brings together people from all kinds of background. What they all have in common is creativity be it in dressmaking, photography, illustration or make up. Hermes Pittakos is one of those amazingly artistic people and his super power" is make up and prosthetics.

The Greek-Cypriot make-up artist recently graduated from London College of Fashion with a BA in Make-up and Prosthetics for Performance. Pittakos is mostly interested in Character Design and Creation, whether using
Make-up and Prosthetics, Wig Making or a combination of all three. His focus is
always on creating art that is both original and ethereal, a trait quite evident through his work.

"In the near future I would like to see myself in a big, interesting and
creative environment where I can work along side other people with the similar
interests, working towards something fantastical," Pittakos says of his aspirations and future plans. "I also want to move to the United states at some point for a short
while, I have always had a fascination for America and something within me is
drawing me towards there. Possibly to California…"

Here is a small sneak peek from Pittakos' most recent work, a short film called
“HOLLOW BONE”. “HOLLOW
BONE” follows a mysterious protagonist (Played by Ron Athey) on an exploration
of the spirit and mind through a series of occult ritualistic scenes inspired
by shamanic journeys and alternate states of consciousness.
Hermes took time out of his busy schedule and let us pick his brains about his personal style, favourite jewellery and period he'd like to live in, among other things:
Fashion-Pixel: What is your personal style when it comes to dressing?
