The Turquoise Mountain Collection by Pippa Small
Loading...
Uploaded by benbruise on Jan 20, 2009
Pippa Small, a highly respected British jewellery designer, explains how hearing about Rory Stewarts Turquoise Mountain Foundation inspired her to create designs that responded to Islamic and pre-Islamic Afghan styles within her distinctive personal style.
Turquoise Mountain is engaged in development work, centred especially on old Kabul and on setting up skills and education projects so that Afghan people can help themselves.
See www.turquoisemountain.org for more information about the Foundation. If you havent heard of Rory Stewart, rumoured to be played by Brad Pitt in an upcoming movie about his life, this National Geographic article http://tiny.cc/DtT7A is a good place to start.
We got involved through a friend and journalist colleague, Kate Brothers, who had just joined Turquoise Mountain and who persuaded us that filming the launch of the jewellery collection could be Meconopsis Films contribution to their development work. We were happy to help.
The project developed a life of its own, combining a record of the London launch with Pippa Small and Rory Stewart interviews and using stunning photographs from Susan Schulman (www.susanschulman.co.uk) from her visit to Afghanistan.
We felt it was a moving and worthwhile cause to be involved with. We hope you agree.
Thank you also to Anil Tohani (www.aniltoani.co.uk) for the event photos.
