A WELCOME FROMBRITA FERNANDEZ

SCHMIDT,EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WOMEN FOR WOMEN

INTERNATIONAL UK

WELCOME

DEAR FRIENDS, On behalf of Women for Women International, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to this very special Fashion Show, sponsored by Swarovski, in association with Browns and Harper’s Bazaar. Having had the opportunity to travel to countries affected by conflict and to meet women and their families, I am deeply committed to doing everything I can to promote peace and sustainable development. I have seen how women are disproportionately affected by conflict and poverty; how they are targeted, abused, and marginalised. But I have also seen how women are able to overcome these challenges, and with strength and resilience, rise up to create lasting change. Through a holistic programme that combines direct financial aid, business skills training, vocational training and rights education, Women for Women International helps women in countries affected by war and conflict including Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Sudan. Change is possible. Thank you for joining me this evening and helping to raise the much-needed funds to support women who are rebuilding their own lives and the lives of their families. You are changing the world - one woman at a time. With my deepest gratitude,

LOT 37MARIANA MAURÍCIO MARIANA MAURÍCIO WAS BORN IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, IN 1983. SHE LIVES AND WORKS IN LONDON. GRADUATING IN FINE ARTS FROM CENTRAL SAINT MARTIN'S COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN IN 2007, HER WORK HAS BEEN EXHIBITED IN A GROUP SHOW AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY AND IS PART OF THE FRANKS-SUSS COLLECTION. IN JUNE 2012 SHE HAD HER FIRST SOLO SHOW AT GALERIA LEME, IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL.

RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON WHERE OR HOW THEY’VE BEEN COLLECTED, SHE FOCUSES ON THE POSSIBILITIES OF AFFECTIVE INTERACTION, AND IN HOW THEY PROVOKE IN HER THIS WISH TO INTERFERE IN A MEMORY THAT ISN’T HERS.

THIS PIECE, ENTITLED TORRE II [2010] IS A GICLEE PRINT, AND MEASURES 47 X 37 CM.

Joan Burstein created Browns with her husband Sidney in 1970. Once a sa small boutique housed on the ground floor at 27 South Molton Street, Browns rapidly

became one of London’s most important fashion destinations and grew quickly, expanding through five connecting townhouses with number 23 being exclusively for

men. Joan Burstein is credited with discovering such talents as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Commes des Garcons.

TToday, Browns is just as revolutionary as it ever was. One of London’s most valued fashion landmarks, it continues to offer pieces that have been individually handpicked from the world’s top designers. "We buy only pieces we like, we edit tremendously. It’s

all about quality and individuality. It’s all a concept." says Mrs Joan Burstein.

Browns offers a special personal service and the ultimate shopping experience for clothing and accessories for men and women under one roof.
