The glamorous fashion show staged on April 4^th, 2011 at the grounds of the Cyprus State Fair in Nicosia marked yet another milestone for Fani Xenophontos, who returned to her homeland Cyprus following her recent success in Milan. Hosted under the auspices of the First Lady of the Republic of Cyprus, Mrs. Elsi Christofia, the exclusive show was attended by distinguished guests from the realms of politics, business, culture and media and received international media coverage.

The event was presented by Mercedes-Benz, a patron of Fani’s work over the past four years. Its many sponsors included important international and local firms and brands, such as Marcuard Heritage Group, Perrier, Cyprus Airways, the Cyprus Tourism Organization, Mediterranean Hotel, Blow, Beautyline, G4S and Eurofem, as well as media sponsors like ANT1, MUST Magazine and Niche Outdoor Media.

The show proudly supported the charity Organisation “Make a Wish”, for children suffering from cancer.

Staged in a magical setting designed by Milan-based interior-design firm Tecnologie & Spazio, the show was based on a concept by Laura Salsi, fashion editor and journalist for ELLE ITALIA, who was also in charge of styling. The collections for Spring-Summer and Winter 2011, as well as the brand new Platinum collection, showcased the designer’s talent in a festive ambience followed by a glamorous after-show party.

The Spring-Summer 2011 collection, recently presented at the celebrated Spiga 2 store in Milan, dedicated by Dolce&Gabbana to new fashion talents, is romantic and feminine, yet joyful and strong, capturing attention at first sight. Mixing retro elements of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s with the novel outlook of our times, Fani’s Winter 2011 collection features garments that celebrate female power. Sophisticated and modern, the Platinum Collection launched at the show takes the designer’s  trademark style one step further, featuring unique pieces that praise the female body, accentuate silhouettes and grant zest and charm.
