The pictures are lifted from Vogue with impunity courtesy of Alessandro Codinha who applied her story to humanitarian effort in Nepal.Although fashion week in Nepal was concluded in January 2015, some of the traditional themes and designers feature differently in Asia.
The major concern of this story and the earthquake is how seriously it was taken in the first place, especially when Nepal has small attractive following around the world. But since Bangladesh, India and Tibet were affected, the story can be viewed differently.
A 7.9. Ritcher scale earthquake does not occur without warning but for sympathizers and Nepalese American designer Prabal Gurung, the earthquake hit quite closely with a 2000 dead.
What the writer Codinha was sharing is the story about Shikshya Foundation Nepal set aside for donations for victims of the earthquake. It is a foundation managed by Fashion Icon and designer Prabal Gurung.
In a statement released by Prabal Gurung through Time, "Nepal is my home. Not only has it been a constant source of inspiration for my work as a fashion designer in New York City — it’s where I grew up and where my family still resides. My life is deeply rooted in Nepal."
"Now, there is widespread ruin across the country, and the death toll continues to rise to ever-staggering numbers as search and rescue efforts are continued throughout Kathmandu; remote villages are just beginning to be reached by rescue and relief teams."
Kathmandu invoke memories of the film motivation Golden Child and Eddie Murphy, but the rest of the general public and fans of Nepal would be expected to exercise their sympathy through Shikshya Foundation Nepal which by grace would be ready for another round of presentation and fashion week come January 2015.
