Andrew Gn for Great Barrier Reef Foundation
"BOOM!, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, is a film I have watched countless times, not so much for its storyline, rather for its aesthetics and the spectacular outfits of Liz Taylor, which served as my initial inspiration.
The movie was shot in Sardinia, in an almost all-white house surrounded by the sea, with an incredible décor mixing Italian baroque and mid-century modern.
This SS22 collection also extols the amazing and irreplaceable beauty of corals. Corals are among my utmost favorite motifs and recurring themes.
After watching documentaries about the destruction of coral reefs, and the huge endeavors to save them, I wanted to raise awareness, through the fashion lens, about the vital importance of corals for the survival of oceans and our planet.
Corals are the trees of the seas, bringing life to the whole underwater ecosystem. We should treasure, protect and save them just like we cherish our forests.
This collection is presented in association with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, who is doing a fantastic job at SAVING THE CORALS. We wish to applaud them for their remarkable actions and warmly thank them for their support.
