Biography

[edit]

Yorgo Tloupas was born in Paris on the 18 of December 1974. He is the son of the Greek sculptor Philolaos[8] and of an Italian-French art teacher. Tloupas grew up in the Chevreuse Valley, in the house-studio built by his father.[9] An avid sportsman since his childhood, Yorgo says that skateboarding shaped his aesthetic sensibility and visual literacy, while snowboarding was the springboard for his entire professional career: in 1996, freshly graduated from ESAG Penninghen, he sold his final art school project, a logo and a range of snowboards, to Rossignol.[10][11][12]

His graphic design studio Yorgo&Co, founded in Paris in 2011, works with luxury, art, fashion, sports, media and automotive brands such as Artcurial,[13] Cartier,[14] Diptyque,[15] Hermès,[16] Hôtel de Crillon,[17][18] Lacoste, Louis Vuitton,[14] Loro Piana, Martell,[19][20] Omega[21] and Swatch,[22] among many others.

Yorgo Tloupas has been involved in blackcrows skis from the start, and today he helps the brand grow, both as a shareholder and as its design director.[23] The blackcrows 2017-2018 ski range is part of the permanent collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.[24]

He teaches logo design at ESAG Penninghen, IFM, ECAL as well as SciencesPo Paris, and holds conferences and talks worldwide.[25][26][6] In 2018 he has held a TEDxSciencesPo talk on (re)branding.[27]

In 2021 Yorgo was commissioned by Hermès to design the logo for their new men's fragrance, H24.[46][47][48][49][50] The logo for Midnight Trains was designed by Yorgo in 2021, who is also a shareholder and partner of this new network of European sleeper trains, .[51][52]
