GREEN EMBASSY | SILENT RAINFOREST

Close your eyes. Imagine yourself walking curiously in a rainforest like the one in Queensland, Australia. Yes, I am talking about the one that is called the Daintree Rainforest.

Now, I want you to ask yourself the following questions, and come up with some quick answers: What do you see yourself surrounded by? What kind of sounds and noises are you hearing while walking through the rainforest? How will you express your curiosity, and these feelings you are surrounded by?

Have you answered all the above questions?

Perfect! Now, hold on to your curiosity and stop where you are. Do you hear the sound of the rain drops drooping down the leaves? Do you notice the trees falling as their roots have been loosend after a heavy thunder and storm came to an end while the rain's sparkling shower was caressing the forest's thirsity waiting trees? Did you even get this last question?.... NO? READ IT AGAIN!

NO. You can't open them yet! Keep your eyes closed! We are getting close to the most exciting part of this journey! I want you to spot them! I'm talking about the rainforest species! From little to big, they shake off the rain from their fur and skin. The other ones on the other hand, spread their soaked feathers, drying them under the hot sun. Feeling at ease, they all breath a long sigh of relief.

You can open your eyes now! Now, tell yourself, what else happened there when your eyes were closed? How were you feeling at that moment?

The cleansed and refreshing feeling I get from this picture reminds me of the Green Embassy's eco friendly Silent Rainforest series.

The brilliant idea of the Silent Rainforest was initially derived from Zuhal Kuvan-Mills ( Green Embassy 's Founder, and Fashion Designer ). Upon her visit to the tropical rainforest of Bali, she was touched by the beauty of the nature, but at the same time, disturbed by the devastating human impacts on the destruction of rainforests, and the natural environment itslef. For that reason, Zuhal dedicated her time on making her seventh series of eco friendly collections of Silent Rainforest. Her motive is to pass on the message of protecting rainforests from deforestation, hoping for all the humanity to make conservation efforts to insulate the mother earth.

(Just to give my readers a brief introduction of Zuhal's background in fashion,) It was no longer than two years ago when Zuhal decided to give life to her ideas on garments, using her visual and textile designing talents. She then decided to bring her creativity into the world of couture fashion. Zuhal's lofty and earthy collections of garments are made of 100% organic Australian alpaca, vegan silk, merino, and recycled fabrics. In her newly made collection, she has used colors of purple, yellow, crimson, and cream to represent the beauty of a feminine, classic, elegant, and a romantic collection. What's more, the Swarovski crystals used in this collection are a stimulation of the dewdrops inhabiting in the tropical rainforest.

It is about time for us to bring a very exciting news to our fashionable and stylish male readers!! Green Embassy is pleased to announce that men's ties and bow-ties have been added to the Silent Rainforest series. Each tie and bow-tie is handcrafted in pure silk and vegan silk, printed by hand using natural elements such as purple carrots, berries, and turmeric. Sexy, sophositicated and unique, Green Embassy ties are created for the man who seeks a classic look with an artistic twist. Since each tie is literally an original work of art, no two ties will be exactly the same. " Much like every man, each tie is an original. " A Green Embassy tie adds flair, class and artful elegance to any wardrobe. Look for this new addition soon at greenembassy.com.au, but in the meantime, contact Zuhal Kuvan-Mills at email@greenembassy.com.au to place an order.
