Deaf Pupils’ Drawings Turned Into A Beautiful Fashion Collection

220

ADVERTISEMENT

Gentian Minga, Editor in Chief of Living Albania magazine, and the fashion designer, Mirela Nurce, collaborated on a special project. Mirela created a whole fashion collection out of the beautiful drawings of the deaf pupils in Tirana. She took these kids’ drawings and printed them in fabrics (wool and silk) and accessories (bags, umbrellas, etc.).

On December 3rd a show was held, celebrities in Albania wore these fashion designs and hand by hand with the deaf pupils introduced these beautiful dresses to a larger public. The image of the project is the supermodel Emina Cunmulaj, who in the past starred for VOGUE, ELLE, and MARIE CLAIRE’s covers and she has been a muse of Jean Paul Gaultier.

Living Albania magazine, Nurce Couture, UNDP Albania, and the Swiss Embassy in Tirana supported this dress design project, held on December 3rd, the International Day for people with disabilities. The motto of this project was: People with disabilities, but with unlimited talents!

    I'm at a loss of understanding why being deaf has any relevance here ... they're not deaf design students, right? Or even art students? The drawings look completely normal for a kid to me - maybe that's the point.... And, yes - that last dress is really incredible. The first one is pretty amazing as well. I'm not sure if the leave pointing into her vagina are intentional or not.

    The relevance of deaf children drawings is that visual is a way of communication for them. As far as they do not speak, they express themselves and "talk" with their drawings. This is the link between the deaf community and the fashion collection. I'm not sure if your vulgarity is intentional or not.

    Really gorgeous works, I wish they could be bought. That's probably for the best though as I have no money right now =P. Seriously, both the clothing and the charitable intentions of this fashion show are fantastic. Kudos to everyone who worked on the project.

    Shame you didn't just stop after the words Nice initiative Arjan! I came here to comment on how beautiful of an idea this was and of course there has to be a you to ruin my feel good! I hope you never try to portray yourself as a decent human being because what a scam that would be! Completely missed the point you arrogant d**k! And you prove your arrogance even more Arjon by saying calling it art is a scam because I'm quite sure all forms of art be it visual or otherwise, are most certainly open for interpretation! And on fashion sense... Pretty sure that's another thing open to interpretation too Arjon!!! Let's just look at some of the things passed off as fashion so I'm pretty sure your comment there is completely irrelevant! Must be a sad black and white angry little old world you live in Arjon! Poor dear! You are the only ugly thing on this page! Now ... Where was I ... Oh yes... How beautiful of an idea! Bravo to all who got on board with this! Just beautiful!!!! Mwah x

    Nice initiative, but the dresses are really ugly, mostly look like kid drawings printed on a dress. Calling it art is just a scam. Being deaf should have nothing to do with your fashion sense!

    You are the first ever to complain about these creations being ugly!! Beside that, this is a charity project and for raising awareness!! Next campaign will be about angry people with rude attitude! They also need support!!
