Ethics and elegance enchant

Sally McGlewThe Advocate

INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed for her haute couture designs, Brigadoon's Zuhal Kuvan-Mills is preparing to head off to the world's fashion catwalks with her new spring/summer collection 2016.

Called Silent Rainforest, the collection is in keeping with Kuvan-Mills' desire to protect the earth in her designs and use fabrics which are ethically and organically sourced.

"One of my greatest wishes as an eco-fashion designer and textile artist is to act as a guardian of the Earth," she said.

Her previous work as a veterinarian has helped her develop this aesthetic, which is continually repeated in her collections.

"Along with my compulsion to create garments that are mesmerising, beautiful and ethical, I also take seriously my quest to promote a green message to the world stage," she said.
