Fresh from joining forces with supermodel, Natalia Vodianova, to host the starry, fund-raising Love Ball last night, Harper’s Bazaar editor, Lucy Yeomans, has persuaded some key British designers to create a range of stylish T-shirts in aid of the Women for Women International charity.
The 11-piece “Women for Women” collection includes designs by veterans Nicole Farhi, Betty Jackson and Amanda Wakeley; actress Sienna Miller, who showed her and her sister, Savannah's label, Twenty8Twelve, last Sunday at London Fashion Week; and new design sensation, Holly Fulton, renowned for her prints. As befits its rock-chic aesthetic, Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon has opted for a punky, thunderbolt motif, while hearts and swallows adorn Alice Temperley’s whimsical tee. The remaining designers are Bella Freud, Charlotte "Olympia" Dellal, Claire Waight Keller of Pringle, and Pam Hogg. Singer-turned-photographer Bryan Adams shot the camProceeds will go to the charity, founded in 1993, which helps women whose lives have been shattered in war-torn countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo. The organisation aims to provide financial and emotional support, and jobs and business skills training.
Says Yeomans: “I’m thrilled at the amazing and heart-warming response from each British designer to support [this] incredible charity.
“There’s something quite powerful and poignant about top British female talent using their creativity to raise money for a charity that helps other women, and I’m extremely proud that Bazaar is at the heart of this campaign.”
The collection will be launched on March 8, which coincides with International Women’s Day.
