A lot of people have made fun of him in the advert but I absolutely am in love with advert. I think it is so different than other adverts out there and sometimes less is more and he is showing that with the words
BAZAAR BY JOANNA HALL
Joanna Hall, a Textile and Fashion Designer from Hildenborough in Kent has been working alongside crafts people in India for more than 19 years. She works mainly in Rajasthan with weavers, block printers, tailors, jewellers and women who do embroidery, beading and fringing. She manufactures her designs of clothing, jewellery and gifts through a web of trusted craftspeople she has befriended during this time. She also buys and collects from the items they have already designed and are making themselves."Everywhere you go in India, people are making things. Handmade paper sheets dry out across the fields and river banks. Dyed fabric is stretched out in the sun. Inside busy workshops, men forge jewellery whilst we sit on the floor sifting through piles of semi-precious stones looking for just the right colour. Rajasthan is a hive of activity.”
The culmination of all these efforts is a beautiful range of clothing, textiles, jewellery, sarongs, rugs, gifts and exotic home furnishings which Joanna sells at her extraordinary twice yearly shows in Hildenborough in Kent. More recently she has invited a limited number of specially chosen retailers throughout the UK to showcase her range as well as taking her designs direct to the public at select events and festivals.
Joanna is keen to ensure that not only does Bazaar embrace rigorous Fairtrade principles but also that a part of everything she does should go back into local communities. She has directly supported the Sandy Gall Afghanistan Appeal, Hope and Homes for Children and Hospice in the Weald as well as indirectly contributing to numerous other charities both in the UK and abroad.
During the weekend I went to her Bazaar show and below are the images I took there. The whole room was covered in textiles, very inspiring! More information about her work can be found on http://bazaarshop.co.uk
Milan Fashion Week S 2012: Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani presented a very elegant and flattering collection.
Rich fabrics, subtle patterns and feminized tailoring
(a completely invented word to say that the suits were
tailored but they not stiff, they were constantly in movement
Among my favorite pieces were the look in the opening photo,
the outfit worn by the fabulous Coco Rocha, the black and
grey suit paired with a black hat, the two very similar
blouse/trousers combo (because I couldn't figure out which
colour I liked best!) or the last silver gown.
