Bulgari and Save the Children Bring New Hope to Underprivileged Children
For those who prefer quantity over quality, you are likely to get at least 10 pairs of shoes with the same amount of money.
However, with RM1700 too you can stay chic
and fashionable while subsequently provide a better livelihood for thousands of
children and their mothers around the world. All thanks to the concerted joint
effort between contemporary Italian jeweller Bulgari and Save the Children.
Since 2009, Bulgari has partnered with Save
the Children to launch a campaign to help disadvantaged children around the
world to attain their own aspirations due to the lack of education which
prolongs the cycle of poverty. In this campaign, a special jewellery collection
was designed with its design reference taken from the iconic B.zero1 line.
Recently, members of the media and guests were invited to a press conference that was held at Bulgari’s Kuala Lumpur flagship store – a duplex store with majestic street entrance and façade ensconced within Pavilion KL.
At the second floor of the duplex store that is dedicated to the jeweller’s iconic and hallmarked bags, leather goods and accessories, guests converged and mingled amidst the lush serving of refreshments.
On the walls, portraits of celebrities supporting the concerted effort by Bulgari and Save the Children were displayed.These portraits, captured by renowned photographer Fabrizio Ferri, features celebrities such as Naomi Watts, Jon Hamm of Mad Men, Meg Ryan, burlesque star Dita von Teese and Ashley Greene, wearing ring and the newly launched pendant.
An interesting snippet from the report: on average, an estimate of 800 mothers and 18,000 young children die from largely preventable causes on daily basis.
In the 2014 Mother’s Index ranking, Finland tops as the best country to be a mother while Somalia sits at the 178th spot due to the concurrent tensions that take place in the African country. On the other hand, Singapore is placed at no 15 on the list while Malaysia is placed at 68th place. Key findings aside, the presentation also includes the involvement of celebrities on the Bulgari-Save the Children projects across the globe.
Following suit, two
distinguished celebrity supporters of the project were introduced to the guests
by Bulgari and they were Malaysian silver screen sirens Datin Seri Tiara Jacquelina
and Debbie Goh.
Datin Seri Tiara was immaculately dressed in an Elizabeth
Taylor-esque emerald green peplumed top with matching skirt that stunningly accentuates her figure while
Debbie was dressed in a crisp white shirt with golden textured below-the-knees
pencil skirt and a wide belt. Both were spotting the silver and ceramic Save
the Children pendants around their necks.
Guests and the
celebrity supporters then proceed to the interactive exhibition area where
aside from the pendant display, the public too are able to find out more on the
ongoing partnership and efforts that both Bulgari and Save the Children have
taken since 2009 in helping the underprivileged children around the world to
improve their livelihood, hence purveying a brighter future.
The Bulgari-Save the
Children pendant is available now at Bulgari flagship store, Pavilion KL and
retails at RM 1700.00 per unit.
