YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Karine Arabian already having
a unique place in the world of the French fashion and promoted
cooperation with leading fashion firms of many countries of the world
started to work from 2000 with Armenian artisans: woodworkers,
silversmiths and jewellers who make adornments and different
accessories. K.Ararbian’s goal is to newly reveal Armenia.

Karine Arabian stated about it at the October 18 press conference
taken place in the S.Parajanov’s house-museum. The display of her
lustre collection of bags, adornments and shoes entitled "Mineral"
took place on the previous day.

Accessories made of wood, silver and Armenian agate predominate at the
display. In K.Arabian’s words, the collection exhibited in Yerevan
is the result of her cooperation with Armenian artisans in 2000. It
was displayed in 2003 in France as well. "The main goal of creation
of that collection is to present the Armenians abroad as creators
as foreigners very often know the Armenians either as ones having
unhappy fate or as a whining people," Mrs.Arabian mentioned.

Famous actors and singers like Isabel Adjani, Julie Delpy, Adrey
Tautou, Scarlet Johanson, Madonna, etc. make use of K.Arabian’s
collections.
