Meghan Markle to launch a clothing line to support charity

GOOD CAUSE

The Duchess of Sussex is launching a clothing line to support Smart Works, a charity that helps unemployed women find work.

“Many of the brands agreed to use the one-for-one model: for each item purchased by a customer, one is donated to the charity,” Meghan wrote in the September issue of British Vogue, which she guest edited. “Not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story, it reminds us we are in it together.”

For the purpose, the Duchess has teamed up with designer and friend Misha Nonoo and British retailers Marks & Spencer, John Lewis & Partners and Jigsaw to create the collection. She said the workwear collection would provide the charity, Smart Works, with continuity. “The racks of clothing and array of shoes and bags Smart Works has now come in mismatched sizes and colours,” she said.

Smart Works provides training and interview clothes for unemployed women. The charity says it has helped more than 11,000 people.
