» BOSFAM FASHION SHOW | The Advocacy Project

Claire Noone (Bosnian Family - BOSFAM): Claire graduated in 2011 from Whitman Collage with a Bachelors Degree in Politics and a focus in human rights. She studied post-conflict transformation at the School for International Training in the Balkans, where she became deeply interested in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Claire wrote her thesis on the Bosnian electoral politics and ethnic division in Bosnia. She has also worked with migrants on the US/Mexico border, with environmental refugees in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and for the rights of refugees in Bosnia-Herzegovina. After her fellowship Claire wrote: “This fellowship reiterated my goal of getting to a place where I do not need to sit back and wait for someone to help me in order to get things done. I really enjoyed being part of a network that was small enough that it felt like a family, but had a global reach.”

Girls model the newest fashions from BOSFAM

BOSFAM hosted a fashion show to showcase the beautiful hand-made apparel crafted by women of BOSFAM. The fashion show included a variety of dresses, bags, vests and blouses, as well as traditional dancing and dancing by children supported through a BOSFAM inspired NGO, Sunce Na Dlanu. Check out for more details about fashions from Humanize Mag .

Everything fashion related, from designer dresses to Dolce and Gabbana Handbags were available for purchase, not just exhibition, although they were in short supply. Being able to see something in a fashion show and purchase it in the same event is rare, and it made the gathering that much more fun and exciting actually. The contrast of designer brands and traditional craft made for a very enriching experience as well I must say. One of the most interesting shows of the year, that’s for sure.

Below is a short video documenting the show. Few of the dresses and fashion items are available on discounts. Check out Basso coupons from CouponsCollector if you want to get great discounts on fashion items.
