ELEFTHERIA HERMES SCARF BY ELIAS KAFOUROS 90 CM SILK TWILL NIB
The story behind
The Story Behind
Elias Kafouros commemorates the bicentenary of his country’s independence and celebrates the courage of his compatriots. His design unfolds like a flag and each letter of the Greek word for freedom is written in a characteristic landscape of the country’s three regions:
Continental Greece, the Peloponnese, and the islands of the Aegean sea.
Mountainside houses, bell towers, ancient colonnades, bridges, and terraces flower at the heart of luxurious nature. A lake is superimposed at the center of the letter “θ”, taking the shape of a blue eye – a symbol the Greeks see as warding off bad luck. Here, it symbolizes citizens’ open gaze regarding their cultural, social and human heritage. Resolutely turned towards the future.
