This Christmas, Marni is reaffirming its commitment to children’s charities with the MARNI HAPPY BIRDS project. The established partnership with Colombian craftsmen has resulted this year in a limited edition collection of hand-painted wooden and metal birds in a range of vibrant colour combinations.
As ever, the inspiration for the Marni Happy Birds collection comes from the world of art. Five individual creations sprang from a series of drawings, each of them an ironic representation of a great female artist of the last century: Carol Rama is depicted with a whimsical sunburst crown, Frida Kahlo is a cormorant with a large beak, the moorhen is Georgia O’Keeffe, the little bird looking to the sky is Alice Neel and the queen is Louise Bourgeois.
The proceeds from all Happy Birds sold will be donated to the Vimala Association www.associazionevimala.org, supporting children in the refugee camps of India.
MARNI HAPPY BIRDS will arrive in Marni boutiques at the beginning of December and will be available throughout the Christmas period.
