Monte Carlo, April 18, 2019

The Hellenic Community of Monaco hosted an exclusive dinner event at Monte Carlo Bay Hotel, to honor the Greek designer MARY KATRANTZOU.

“We are proud and excited to celebrate the 10^th Anniversary of Mary Katrantzou, here in Monaco” said Mrs. Sophia Vaharis Tsouvelekakis, President of the Hellenic Community of Monaco. “Mary is a pioneer and a visionary. She revolutionized digital printing and pushed the boundaries of fashion. I am happy and honored to have Mary amongst us tonight, and to award her as a Great Lady of Greece.!”

The famous designer was awarded with the honorary distinction “Les Grandes Dames Grecques”, in recognition of her contribution to the global promotion of the Hellenic creativity.

During the presentation, President Sophia Vaharis Tsouvelekakis announced that an amount of € 5,000 deriving from the revenues of the dinner – as well as from the Mary Katrantzou trunk show -, will be attributed as a scholarship to a Greek student at the International University of Monaco.
