Andreas StylianouAndreas Stylianou is a Fashion Activist, and an active street worker for over 10 years. He participated in social projects such as the Utopia collective and Agora Project , which aimed to support the social integration of young and vulnerable groups.
Andreas is the co-founder of Dostou chance, a Cypriot brand that offers a variety of clothes based on conscious design and Ethical trade. Their Environmental project is based on the practice of RE-USE that is an action that extends the life of a product and keeps it off the waste system ,eliminating polluting and promoting circular economy. Through the TEDxLarnaca Countdown Talk , along with introducing the Dostou Chance project, we will present the thematic exhibition «Redesign Fashion Exhibition », which was designed through the lockdown period. The exhibition aims to give a critical look at the consequences of fashion, both for producers and for the environment, through the processes of education, creativity and experiential learning. More specifically, the exhibition encourages the visitors’ awareness regarding the topic aiming to improve their attitudes and perceptions towards sustainable fashion. As an ecological culture movement we contribute to the extension of the life of the existing material, thereby enhancing ecological sensitivity and awareness of the public. Conscious choice is an action of change!!! |
