London is where the creativity and inspiration takes place. I worked with Victoria Li (although she doesn't like me to say it, the super talented graphic designer) on the changes and re-edited and re-designed the website, mocked up the upcoming lookbook, and other more suprising things. Stay tuned and watch this space. I will be revealing them by one by one... 16 Oct 2012, Tuesday WINE MAKING TRADITION IN MY FAMILY http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/picture/179376 There are traditions where skilled handiwork is of outmost importance. One can have the most advanced technology, but without the input and care of human touch, love and attention, the result cannot be outstanding. Wine making is one such tradition, and it is a tradition that comes from my family. It spans centuries and generations. My family was born in Bulgaria (although I have roots in Central Asia and modern-day Turkey), and for centuries, has faced hardship and poverty. Despite that, wine making has been such a tradition in my family that even when they struggled to survive, they maintained their dignity, love of life, and of course, respect to tradition. I remember when I was a little girl, I would watch my family members care for the grapes, walk for hours and hours in the sun collecting the grapes to be crushed later with their feet. It was a time of celebration, a time of togetherness, as we would all gather at the end of this process, singing songs, eating delicious and freshly made food, and always wearing their best clothes for the occasion. Today, I believe respect for handiwork, tradition, and celebration continues in Neri Karra. The respect and honour of the past, becomes new in the hands of a craftsmen who only would let his best work leave the factory, and at the end, the celebration comes when the Neri Karra product is seen in every day life. 16 Oct 2012, Tuesday 5 FAVOURITE AUTUMNAL FOODS http://wishflowers.tumblr.com/ Today is World Food Day.
