Lakis Gavalas: My Most Luxurious Vacation Was in Prison

Fashion designer Lakis Gavalas reminisced about his time in prison, describing it as his most luxurious vacation. He explained that he managed to maintain his personal style and identity even in those difficult circumstances, dressing in sequins and organizing small events. At the same time, he expressed bitterness towards people who betrayed him and stated that he is unwilling to forgive them, despite the festive season. He believes these people exploited his company while he and his sister worked hard to develop it and contribute to the Greek economy. Gavalas described his life as a “moving troupe” and the sets he created, such as Mykonos and his businesses, as part of that life.
