A STUDIO screaming style from every corner, a rail packed with clothing and two dummies dressed in classic black garments is the setting for my meeting with Kika Ioannidou. She has been in the fashion industry for 20 years but unlike other designers, she is solely based in Cyprus.
Jimmy Stewart was guided by one in It’s a Wonderful Life, Oscar-winning actor Denzil Washington firmly believes in them and David Beckham has one tattooed on his back and three smaller examples on his left arm.

In 1962, the magazine American Fabrics stated, “If we were to use a human term to describe a textile we might say that denim is an honest fabric – substantial, forthright, and unpretentious.” These days, denim is a little more ambitious and as autumn draws in, jeans become a wardrobe staple.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
