Origin of the name
FANSTY = fancy + style
FAN — a tribute to John Keats’ poem “Fancy”, where imagination becomes a training ground to reshape reality.
STY — a phonetic echo of “style”.
FAN.STY — together they carry a double meaning: the bond between fancy and style, and the immediate read of “fan of style”.
How many stories, styles and traditions are still waiting to be seen?
