Le Dessein for Women’s Education in the Developing World
Fashion is fun. Charitable fashion is even better. Over the years I’ve had this blog, I’ve moved in a direction that encompasses both worlds, even more so with the latter. I absolutely love illustrating the fashion world on the side that the general media doesn’t always portray: the side that cares about more than just what to wear with those killer heels you’ve been craving for months and finally acquired (Like, OMG!). I am finding more and more ethical, sustainable and charitable brands every day, which makes me smile…but every now and then, I get contacted by one! I’m excited to introduce Le Dessein, which is one of those great brands that reached out to me recently. Le Dessein is more than just a clothing company (and an amazing one at that), but rather a brand that is extremely passionate about “empowering women through educated fashion,” or helping break the unfortunate reality that there are currently over 65 million girls out of school in the developing world. If these women completed a secondary education, about 3 million children under 5 years old would be open to better and more opportunities in their lifetimes.
