Meghan Markle Luncurkan Label Fesyen dan Hasilnya untuk Amal

KOMPAS.com – Meghan Markle kembali membuat langkah besar dalam perannya sebagai anggota kerajaan. Ia akan meluncurkan label fesyen pada akhir tahun 2019 ini dan ditujukan untuk kegiatan sosial.

Untuk mewujudkannya, Duchess of Sussex bekerja sama dengan brand Jigsaw, desainer Misha Nonoo, dan retailer asal Inggris, Mark & Spencer dan John Lewis.

Nantinya, label fesyen ini akan membuat koleksi busana kerja untuk wanita yang juga akan didonasikan ke Smart Work.

Yayasan amal tersebut membantu perempuan yang tidak bekerja dan rentan untuk kembali ke dunia kerja dengan cara memberikan training dan meminjamkan pakaian untuk mengikuti wawancara kerja.

Koleksi kapsul ini akan dijual satu model untuk satu, yang berarti setiap item yang terjual akan didonasikan satu untuk Smart Work.

Dalam unggahan di Instagram, Meghan terinspirasi untuk membuat inisiatif ini ketika melihat langsung baju-baju hasil donasi di Smart Work, meski banyak, tapi kombinasi dan warnanya kurang pas (mismatched).

Hal itu membuat pilihan untuk memakai pakaian yang tepat saat wawancara kerja jadi sulit. Padahal, setiap wanita harus merasa percaya diri ketika akan mengikuti wawancara.

Spotlight on: Smart Works We are proud to be supporting a very special initiative this autumn for @SmartWorksCharity! After quiet visits to Smartworks over the last year, The Duchess was moved by the impactful work being done by this non profit organisation that helps women into the workforce, equipping them with both the skills and clothes they need to feel job-ready. Throughout her visits she noticed that while the donations were plentiful, they were also notably a combination of mismatched items and colours which weren’t always the right stylistic choices or sizes that didn’t necessarily “suit” the job at hand: to make a woman feel confident and inspired as she walked into her job interview. As a result, launching this autumn, The Duchess will be supporting a collective to help equip the women of Smart Works with the key workwear essentials they need as they enter into the workplace. This initiative is supported by four generous brands who share the vision to empower the women of Smart Works to look and feel ???? as they bravely venture in to what can often be a daunting environment for those who have been out of the job market. The brands have come together to work towards this united force for good, “[reframing] the idea of charity as community,” as The Duchess writes in a piece for this month’s British Vogue. They will follow the 1:1 model where an item from the collection purchased is an item shared with a woman of Smart Works because “not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story; it reminds us we are in it together.” For more information on how you can be part of another woman’s success story visit @smartworkscharity. Special thanks to: @JohnLewisandPartners, @MarksandSpencer, @MishaNonoo, @InsideJigsaw for supporting this very special organisation.
