Greek designer cancels show outside ancient theater due to politicization

Greek luxury line Zeus+Dione announced on Friday it is cancelling its participation in a fashion show planned outside the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus, to avoid turning the event into a “field of barren political attack”, after press reports focusing on one of the company’s founders, Mareva Grabowski, the spouse of New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The event was planned for April 8 as part of the 23nd Athens Xclusive Designers Week (AXDW), Athens biggest fashion event, which is running from March 29 to April 1 at Zappeion Hall. Greece’s Central Archaeological Council (KAS) had given the green light for the AXDW to use the yard right outside the Herodion.
