“Come along to the show on the 10th and see how traditional textiles have been given new meaning & importance in hard-edged & creative fashion !”
Hylates, heritage & environmental consultancy from Limassol have teamed up with Grampus Heritage from the UK, the Devetaki Plateau Association from Bulgaria, Satul Verde from Romania and the Lefkara Municipality & Gymnasium to create a fashion show with a difference. The Lefkara Hotel, with their art in the community brand, provides valuable support & the venue for a show at 12:30 on Sunday, 10th April. Featured will be ‘Your Granny Can Fly: Traditional Textile into Fashion’. Models from Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria & the UK will show some ground-breaking use of ‘Lefkaritika’ in modern stylish costume plus traditional textiles from the UK, Bulgaria & Romania incorporated into trendy creations. The Lefkara Gymnasium offers some wacky input with lino-cut printed costume with ‘pop-art’ inspiration & traditional Cypriot motifs onto linen & denim. The show is supported by the European Union’s ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ fund within the framework of a 10-country ‘Development of Innovation’ initiative called ‘Green Village’. The part, which supports the Lefkara show, is under ‘Empowering Communities’.
