Beloved Cypriot director and actor Andreas Georgiou made a striking appearance on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, accompanied by his wife Simoni, wearing a one-of-a-kind silk scarf designed by Cypriot designer Michalis Pantelidis.

The scarf is a tribute to Cyprus’ rich cultural heritage, created using photographic fragments of authentic Cypriot artifacts from the Pierides Museum in Larnaca. Through this artistic collaboration, history and fashion intertwine in a contemporary expression of cultural storytelling.

Andreas Georgiou traveled to Cannes with the support of Nespresso Cyprus, a brand that actively champions Cypriot creativity and its global recognition.

Michalis Pantelidis’ creation brings Cypriot identity to the forefront in an elegant and modern way, serving as a powerful symbol of cultural diplomacy through fashion.
