Ancient Queen of Thrace and Egypt Arsinoe will likely travel to New York, London and Paris to promote several dresses made by 100% pure silk of Soufli (northern Greece). The design of the dresses reminds us of ancient Greek sculptures such as the winged Victory of Samothrace displayed at the Louvre Museum.
The Economic Forum of Thrace presents its first collection called AdT- Arsinoe du Thrace in a bid to export silk abroad.
“Our aim is to enter the silk industry with as much silk as Soufli is able to provide. We have already talked with companies based in New York, Paris and London and they were all pretty enthusiastic about this future prospect,” reported President of the Forum, Catherine Karagiannis, according to ana-mpa.
Silk dresses, which combine ancient Greece with tradition of Soufli and modern fashion, may be rather expensive (prices begin from 500 euros due to valuable material they are made of) but they are totally worth it.
Besides offering the advantages in terms of promoting Greek culture and heritage, the future cooperation with companies abroad will create many jobs for Greeks living in Soufli, a positive development that will certainly give a boost to local economy.
