ETHNIC COUTURE : BREATH-TAKING

Style knows no borders. In far, far away Borneo the World Craft Council organised the 6^th World Eco-Fibre and Textile (WEFT) Forum from the 24^th to the 26^th of September 2010 in Kuching.

Delegates who came to share their knowledge and experiences on Natures’s Colour Code in Basketry and Textiles had come from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Philippines, China, Canada, UK, Switzerland, USA, France, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

I attended the gala night where I met many very chic friends. Equipped with my Nikon D60 I simply had a splendid time.
