Marni & Moncler Clothing for Charity
Friday, November 21st, 2008
Both Marni and Moncler build on the momentum of ethical fashion and provide hope to poor children in deprived countries.
Marni created two special projects called In a World of My Own and Dreams of Growing Up, where children are the artists.
For the first one, kids around the globe were asked to envision themselves in an imaginary world and paint what they saw directly onto 240 cotton shopping bags, which will sell exclusively in Marni boutiques at the end of November for $135.
Marni also selected five of the drawings and printed them on white and gray tank tops and T-shirts for the second part of the initiative.
Rihanna has partnered with Gucci to be the face of their new Tattoo Heart accessories collection, which Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini designed as part of their annual campaign to benefit UNICEF.
Abercrombie & Fitch who are famous in America for their once controversial hiring policies, are now looking to embrace the world with their preppy apparel. Abercrombie & Fitch said it is still on track to open flagships stores around the world including an Abercrombie & Fitch flagship store on the Champs Elysees in Paris in 2011. Abercrombie opened its first overseas store in London last year and opened its first European Hollister Co. mall-based store in a suburb of London last month.
