Athens angered by fashion show in front of Parthenon frieze in London. Culture Minister Lina Mendoni reacted with anger to a London Fashion Week fashion show.
"The decision-makers at the British Museum are insulting not only the monument, but also the universal values it embodies," the minister said in writing. The designer Erdem Moralioglu chose the impressive exhibition location of the Parthen on the British museum for a fashion show for his brand Erdem. The collection shown is inspired by the Greek singer Maria Callas and her interpretation of the opera Medea in 1953.
