the European Union, the Laiki Bank Cultural Centre in
collaboration with the Cyprus Fashion Designers Association and
the Hellenic American Union present the exhibition “Beyond Dress
Codes: From Traditional Costume to Contemporary Fashion”.In this

not as the antiquated contents of museum showcases but as souces
of inspiration and creative interest. This concept, will be
transmitted to the youth generation through a prototype and
interactive educational programme “Dress up: Cyprus Style” which
is going to be conducted at the Laiki Bank Cultural Centre. At

online game that aims to bring the next generation in personal
contact with the Cypriot folk art and traditional costume.The
