Motivw Circular Design

Μοτίβω (pronounced motivo) is a social design fashion project based in Nicosia, Cyprus. It was first realised as a series of workshops in 2017, as part of RESPUBLIKA, an arts festival focusing on media democracy. The team has since grown, through a series of collaborations into a sustainable fashion brand, aiming to utilise military surplus materials and other waste fabrics to create youthful items of clothing that promote unity across the island. The project has been featured in the London Graduate Fashion Week catwalk for Nottingham Trent University and was nominated in the Sustainable Fashion Category; has won the Bright Ideas Social Enterprise Award by Kingston University London and was granted funding by the Santander Universities Fund in the UK. We are a team of young, energetic designers, fascinated by the nature and the colours found on our native island, Cyprus. Our goal is to promote a more sustainable lifestyle in terms of fashion by promoting up-cycling, second hand shopping and social causes. We are proud members of the Fashion Revolution Cyprus
