The rainforest, the painter and the designer

Earth provides enough to satisfy everyone’s need, but not every man’s greed. Mahatma Gandhi
Somewhere on our planet some natural resources are getting extinct. Elsewhere we are advancing into a new world. Rahul Mishra’s SS17 collection meanders into the Rain forest to unravel new stories for the season.
Viewpoint: the naïve childlike perspective of French post-impressionist painter Henri Rousseau. Hybrid influences, handcrafts, flower petal metamorphosing into a swan, the leaves into a zebra. Traditional artisans bring to life 3D embroidery techniques on natural textiles such as cotton voile and organdy inspired by Rousseau’s artworks. Lightweight textiles…a collection filled with beauty, carrying a strong message.
If you wonder why the Rainforest – they are the Earths oldest living ecosystems!
I was wearing:
Metallic pleated dress by H&M, oversize blazer Slavina Petrova, belt Gucci, clutch Azzedine Alaïa.
