Fashion & Beauty: Edun
A collaboration between designer Rogan Gregory, Bono and Ali Hewson, Edun aims to bring the issue of sustainable employment to the world of catwalks and high fashion; it's conscious consumerism with a stylish twist. Edun grew out of the desire to shift the focus away from aid in the developing world, particularly Africa, to trade. To that end, Edun utilizes locally-run factories in Africa, South America and India, and organically-grown and certified materials. |
