First on Le Black Sofa in 2026: PANOS GOTSIS

Our first Le Black Sofa of 2026 was gorgeous, and at last we understand how a doctor can become a fashion designer...

In his transition from medical doctor to entrepreneur, Panos entered fashion wanting to bring more colour to menswear, launching his eponymous label, PANOS GOTSIS. We agree to disagree with him on this one, but there’s no denying his pieces cut a striking figure.   

Marc Sasserath, Christine Pluess, and Panos Gotsis together on Le Black Sofa, combining creative energy with honest discussion.

His looks have already featured in Sex & the City and Emily in Paris, and we were dying to hear how he managed it with such a young brand.

The openness and warmth of our community in the January frost reminded us why we started this live podcast in the first place: to strike up real and honest conversations.
