Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus
I'm the founder of FHNC. Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (FHNC) is a pioneering platform that strives to celebrate and preserve Cypriot fashion heritage by supporting emerging Cypriot designers in creating contemporary and sustainable fashion and art.
Our goal is to preserve the rich and unique Cypriot fashion heritage by engaging
with the youth. We also strive to shift consumers' habits and attitudes towards
clothing to minimise textile waste and uphold sustainable fashion principles.
The network consists of a growing number of emerging Cypriots in Cyprus and
the diaspora, volunteering in an array of departments ranging from marketing
and heritage research to fashion design.
Our network reflects the spirit of the island through the act of sustainable
fashion and fashion heritage, communicated by an avant-garde, new-generation
of designers.
