Designer Sonam Dubal: "Tibet Is Bleeding"

At his show on Sunday, Indian designer Sonam Dubal dedicated his collection to peaceful resolution of the violence currently underway in parts of China. His collection, "Trailing the River Goddess" coincidentally drew its inspiration from three rivers -- two of which are fed by Tibet's glaciers and snowy highlands. These were his sentiments:

"Though I'm not at the center of the violence, reading about it has pained my heart," Dubal explained. "This is my initiative to spread the word that violence leads us only to destruction. Tibet is bleeding and we should pray for peace even though we may not be affected by their problems. It is peace we need."

I couldn't agree more.
