Seymour Art Gallery
was host to a very special fashion show on March 2. North
Shore designer Fariba Mirzaie, a North Shore resident who
has been inspired by traditional Persian costumes, teamed
up with the gallery and featured artist Tania Gleave to help
raise money for the earthquake victims in Bamm, Iran. The
models were accompanied by Persian drummers while guests
were invited to view the fashions, see the art and sample
lots of Persian food.

With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would
quickly exceed the amount of memory needed. If you would like to receive a copy
of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the
details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number
and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for
security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures
to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo.
Thanks. |
