Fashion Show - July 2007, Mauritius
This project is based on the principle that real beauty is a mixture of both the ‘look’ and the state of ‘being’ of an individual, with a slight predominance of the latter over the former. It is a situation where the beauty of the fabric is in harmony with the beauty of the character. Indeed, it is always the person who renders the gown beautiful and never the other way round. Beauty is then at the service of peace by placing the human being at the centre of all initiatives.
More than a fashion show, this joint initiative of Third World Family Humanitarian, Khidma Boutik and Espace Sarsara will be a profound experience of using beauty to further the cause of humanity.
