"Maalouf Meets —" is a journal series where we explore conversations with inspiring individuals.
In this edition, we sit down with Theo to discuss life, underwear, and everything in between. 




IN CONVERSATION WITH 
THEOPHILOS CONSTANTINOU

Q: Who are you and what do you do?


A:
 "My name is Theophilos Constantinou.

I am a human living in Scandinavia.

Born in Ohio.

Missing New York City.

I am selling olive oil.

I am taking pictures.

I am breathing."

Q: What is your earliest underwear memory?


A:
 "My earliest memory of underwear is from advertising, specifically in the 90s.
Calvin Klein corrupted my young mind."

Q: What has been your underwear journey?


A:
 It took me almost my whole life to find the perfect pair of underwear.
It is made by Patagonia:


”a performance boxer brief made with moisture-wicking 89% recycled nylon/11% spandex stretch micromesh fabric for high-output activities and travel. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory."

Q: Is there such a thing as a perfect piece?


A: 
"Yes, see above. ;)"

Q: Do you wear underwear as outerwear?


A:
 "I prefer my birthday suit as outerwear." 



Q: Do you have going out underwear?


A:
 "This question seems more appropriate for a professional wrestler."

Q: Has there been an occasion where the underwear made you fall in love with someone?


A:
 "Any occasion where 'said person' was wearing Calvin Klein underwear, 90s anxiety."

Q: Is there a piece of art or literature that you remember because of the underwear?


A:
 "No, but Boogie Nights came to mind—maybe because of Mark Wahlberg and
Calvin Klein. Shout out PTA."



Last but not less important…


Q: What is a perfect meal or dish to be enjoyed when you are just in your underwear?


A:
 "Lobster and a side of linguine, with a bib of course."
