Tudtad, hogy Meghan Markle munkanélküli nőket támogat egy divatcégen keresztül?

Sussex hercegnője a szívén viseli a nehéz sorsúakat.

A szülési szabadságról visszatérő Meghan Markle nagy elánnal veti magát a közéletbe, és most sem feledkezik el a jó ügyek támogatásáról. A Londoni Divathetet is meglátogatta, ám nem egy luxusmárkát karolt fel a megjelenésével: a rajta látható öltözék a Smart Works munkája volt.

Today we celebrated the launch of The Smart Set capsule collection, which was informed and inspired by The Duchess’s first-hand insights from her many visits to Smart Works. . We came together on the rooftop of @johnlewisandpartners with six of our wonderful clients, the incredible brands involved in the collection, Our Royal Patron HRH The Duchess of Sussex @sussexroyal and Smart Works volunteers and supporters. . Our Royal Patron said: “As women, it is 100% our responsibility to support and uplift each other.”. . After hearing inspiring words about the power of community and the role we can all play in each other’s success stories, we then listened to a panel discussion chaired by our Trustee, Tiffanie Darke. . Within the discussion, our client Kate commented; “Smart Works is what changed my year. They’re like a warm blanket. When you look in the Smart Works mirror, you see the person you want to be.”. . Today was a wonderful moment after many months of careful planning and we are so thankful to Our Royal Patron and the wonderful brands involved who have made this collection happen. #thesmartset

Az Oxford Streeten található John Lewis-üzletben vásárolt, mely bolt forgalmazza a jótékony hátterű cégtől származó holmikat. A 85 fontba kerülő hófehér ingben és a 120 fontos fekete nadrágban mutatta be Markle a Smart Set nevű kollekciót.

A holmik árából a vevők olyan nőket segítenek, akik a munkanélküliségből kerülhetnek ki ezen a módon. A szükségben lévőket támogató Smart Works az álláskeresésben nyújt támaszt: elsősorban interjúkra készítik fel a delikvenseket.

Fashion Friday in the Smart Works Dressing Room ✨ . At Smart Works, we see every day how fashion has the power to make a woman feel empowered, helping her to present the best version of herself when it really counts. . Our dressing room is always full of special moments, and it was a particularly wonderful day this week when our incredible Patron, Jane Shepherdson CBE, volunteered her time as a stylist in our North London HQ. . Along with our Thursday volunteer dresser Clare, Jane helped clients like Lauren and Zara to find perfect pieces for their upcoming interviews, before their sessions with an interview coach. . As a leading figure in fashion and retail, it was a pleasure to have Jane’s knowledge and expertise in our dressing room, and we are so grateful for her support and kindness towards our clients. . #FashionFriday #SmartWorks #FashionasaForceForGood

Ma már a világ központi kérdése a divat, és nem az ennivaló. De ez a projekt mindkettőt lefedi: megélhetést ad nők számára.

nyilatkozta a pulpitusról Markle, akiről közismert, hogy egyik első munkahelyén joghurt-fagyit szolgált fel Los Angelesben. Ezt a történetet a hercegnő a ruhaüzletbe betérőkkel is meg szokta osztani, ahol önkéntesként segít a kollekciók összeállításában, és a tervezési folyamatokban is részt vállal.

We are so proud to be included in the seminal, September Edition of @britishvogue guest-edited by our Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Sussex @sussexroyal . . In the article, The Duchess writes: “The reason I was drawn to Smart Works is that it reframes the idea of charity as community. It’s a network of women supporting and empowering other women in their professional pursuits.” . . Our Smart Works family is flourishing under the Duchess’s patronage. We have dressed more women than ever before, and we have just had our best ever July, helping 27% more women across the UK than the same time last year. We want to help more women find their way to a Smart Works centre so that they may, in the words of the Duchess, be ready to take on the world, get a job and transform their lives . . The Duchess and Smart Works have more exciting plans in store (watch this space) but for now, we hope you’ll buy this very special #ForcesForChange edition of Vogue and be inspired by what you read. . . #ForcesforChange #Smartworks #Inthepress #Vogue #WomenEmpoweringWomen

A Smart Works kap adományokat magánszemélyektől és vállalatoktól is. Meghan erőfeszítéseket tesz azért, hogy a cég híre és több áruja is eljusson minél szélesebb réteghez. Misha Nonoo-t, John Lewist és a Marks & Spencert is bevonta a terjesztésbe.

A királyi befolyás meglátszik az eladásokon is: még a 109 fontba kerülő John Lewis-táskát is vitték, mint a cukrot. De a Jigsaw által forgalmazott, 199 fontos olasz gabardin blézer is szépen fogy:

Az ilyen darabokba bújva egy nő bátran ugrik neki az előtte álló napnak.

idézi a Guardian az üzletlánc női konfekcióért felelős munkatársát, Louise Longot.

This morning we were thrilled to be a part of the Gen Next breakfast series at Estee Lauder, hosted by our wonderful supporter @bobbibrownuk ✨✨ . Three of our inspiring volunteers joined our CEO @bykatestephens for a panel discussion to celebrate Smart Works and our #PrettyPowerful partnership with @bobbibrownuk. The amazing Pro-Artist @bbpro_amyconway lead the discussion around what makes our panel feel #PrettyPowerful. We heard some wonderful answers and were touched to hear that for one of our dressers, “volunteering at Smart Works has been the most rich and rewarding experience of my life” Smart Works is “about building a community of women. At Smart Works you can come to a place where you know other women are rooting for you and have your back” -@bykatestephens Smart Works CEO. A big thank you to @bobbibrownuk for hosting us and giving us the platform to share the value of our service with more supporters. . #PrettyPowerful #SmartSupporter #Charity #SmartWorks
