Zuhal, Eco Activist, Designer, Educator, spends every waking minute highlighting the beauty and the fragility of our environment and in this collection, focuses on the oceans, empty soon without drastic intervention. Fashion can be such a powerful, world-wide statement. Oceans can only sustain us if we protect their resources.
Green Embassy is certified organic and is "100% created by hand in Australia". The black netting for bow ties, and net stockings, is actual left over fish nets, and is also used as accessories on hats and as decorative but functional pieces on the dresses. Her luxury materials are woven, felted, stitched, and knitted and are made of silk, alpaca, marino wool and organic cotton. The entire series, photographed beautifully, can be found here. Zuhal is also the creator and organizer for Eco Fashion Week, Perth, Australia, coming in November 2017. Gotta Go!
On March 19th at Studio Cloud 30, we participated in a Green Embassy preview and I was honored to be able to wear a hat, with netting, and a jacket and skirt made of alpaca and a hand knitted top, made of recycled and upcycled material. What I loved was how soft and warm the outfit was, the soft brown shades (natural dyes) and, of course, the fit. Zuhal designs so that all of us can wear the message and be active about our clothing choices. I took some behind the scenes photos and was so impressed by the calm, friendly and professional atmosphere while we got ready: the organized presentation down the steps, for the photos and afterward, when we circulated for an audience that wanted to touch the fabrics and ask a million questions. Zuhal is an excellent mentor and teacher and was so patient, every step of the way. Thank you and look forward to Sunday, March 26 at 8:00, when Green Embassy takes to the runway at VWF.
Very happy to finally meet Robbin Whachell, Journalist, The Bahamas Weekly, who also modelled a coat and hat, as well as taking gorgeous photos and writing this powerful article about Green Embassy here.
