Kris Panavara #1.1

It’s more than fashion. It’s culture, identity, and a global conversation.

Kris Panavara is one of Catawiki’s in-house experts in menswear, sneakers, and streetwear. He reviews every submitted item with care and insight, ensuring only the most relevant and culturally significant pieces make it to auction. Since 2017, Kris has immersed himself in the fashion industry. From early days in buying and sourcing at Central Group to his recent curation role at Grailed, the New York-based menswear resale platform, he brings over seven years of experience spanning luxury retail, trend research, and hands-on sourcing. Fashion is personal for him. It’s a lifelong passion grounded in self-expression, creativity, and cultural connection. From avant-garde designers like Rick Owens and Raf Simons to iconic streetwear brands such as Supreme and Stüssy, his expertise covers a broad, trend-forward spectrum of menswear. Sneakers, in particular, have been a defining thread—both as coveted objects and cultural symbols. He’s attended Paris, Milan, and Tokyo Fashion Weeks, gaining firsthand insight into the evolution of global trends. While living in Antwerp, he sharpened his eye through vintage thrifting and sourcing rare pieces, further grounding his intuitive feel for standout fashion. Now based in Amsterdam, he brings this global perspective to Catawiki. He works closely with the community, aligning market prices, curating quality drops, and making sure every listing resonates with buyers who care about the story behind the style.
