‘The diverse traditional Greek costume functions as an expressive visual language that reflects our rich cultural heritage. The sartorial ensembles represent yet another symbol of our historical experience. The patterns of these costumes function as re-generational symbols of aesthetic codes, through which a dialogue develops between the traditional and the modern. Inspired by these patterns, the enamelled chains come to replace their lines and now represent the silhouette of the garment. The flexibility of the chain suggests the dual functionality of the jewellery, which can be presented as a linear symbol of the garment, but can also be converted when worn into a new entity as a contemporary piece of jewellery’.
