ARI SUPPORTS FEMALE REFUGEES WORK

On March 11, Art 4 Humanity (A4H) presented a project in collaboration with the historic fashion brand Vionnet: One World Show (OWS) at Istituto Marangoni sponsored by ARI Financial Group.

The event featured a live performance - a fashion and photography show presenting outfits from the prestigious Vionnet archive, and a display of the photographs shot by female refugees wearing the Vionnet outfits by playing the dual role of models as well as photographers in the surroundings of their refugee camp in Thessaloniki, Greece. The Vionnet outfits and the photographs could be purchased during the event and on A4H website –– proceeds benefiting the training programs of The Photography School, allowing refugees to develop professional skills, gain representation and reinstate their identities.
