Here Come the Cypriots, Fashion Show

The Centre of Visual Arts and Research (CVAR), in collaboration with BE OPEN, proudly presents Here Come the Cypriots - a cultural event that brings history to life through fashion and commerce. This immersive experience weaves a historical timeline of the island through garments and the everyday figures of street sellers, offering a unique window into Cyprus’s rich and evolving identity.

A dynamic fusion of history and performance, Here Come the Cypriots showcases garments from the Ottoman era to the British colonial period and into modernity. These costumes reflect how fashion has served as a visual marker of social change, economic shifts, and cultural exchange. The pieces will be brought to life on the catwalk by teenagers from local schools.
