Thalia Kosta
Course: BDes Fashion

Thalia Kosta is a fashion design student whose work explores memory, identity, and her Cypriot heritage. Her practice is rooted in personal experience, often drawing from moments, objects, and traditions that have shaped her upbringing.
Her collection, μνήμες, explores how memory lives through objects, rituals, and everyday moments. Drawing from personal history, family traditions, and cultural symbolism, the work transforms these emotional fragments into contemporary eveningwear. Through techniques such as weaving, braiding, and fabric manipulation, the garments act as vessels of remembrance preserving what cannot be physically held. The collection reflects on how identity is built through what we carry, allowing the past to exist within the present.
