Paola Robba's 2008 Couture Collection for Poko Pano is a visual interpretation of the connection found between Brazilian music and art. Inspired by Bahia's charitable children's school of the Arts, Candeal, the Collection is dedicated to Carlinhos Brown, the founder of the life-changing school. Bahia, with beautiful, sun-drenched beaches and art-loving community, is the perfect back-drop for this years' collection. "I was really impressed with the Bahia community. They know how to make their existence special through the collors, rhythms, sun, sea, and the warm interaction of their people," says Paola Robba about Bahia. |
