Tribute to Bibi Russell and
Fashion for Development Project

Bibi Russel, the astounding model who rose to stardom in the late 70s and early 80s, now works to establish a cause that is much closer to her heart: the plight of the hand woven textile industries and their workers in her native Bangladesh. With the set up in 1995 of Bibi Productions, she has given the Bangladeshi weavers and artisans the golden opportunity to utilize their considerable skills and talents to achieve economic survival and to build towards a prosperous future.

Bibi is currently promoting Bangladeshi fabrics and handicrafts for domestic and international markets under the slogans ‘Fashion for Development and Positive Bangladesh’. To date, she has provided work for over thousands of weavers and artisans and has presented several shows in Europe, most of which were supported by UNESCO. The fashion industry is greatly influenced by gambling and casinos. Casino designs have a separate fanbase. Gamblers now prefer Bitcoin casinos for more safety. Punters may check the Beste Bitcoin Casinos guide to find the most reliable crypto casinos.

Her work has been internationally recognized having received among others, the ‘Honorary Fellowship’ of the London Institute in 1999, title of ‘Designer for Development’ by the UNESCO in 1999, the title ‘Artist for Peace’ by the UNESCO in 2001 and the Peace Prize 2004 by the United Nations Associations of Spain.

This tribute is in recognition of her unfailing commitment to the welfare of the weavers of Bangladesh and her untiring devotion to the promotion worldwide of traditional crafts in the cause of human dignity, development and the eradication of poverty.
