BRANDS SUPPORTING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2021
Posted on by Cameron Tewson
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organisation specific.
To mark the occasion, many of fashion labels are celebrating with one-off pieces which not only celebrate women and girls everywhere in their designs, but which will also help to support charities that aim to improve the lives of women all around the world.
Baukjen x The Princes Trust
Baukjen, the certified pending BCorp slow fashion business has designed this ‘Sunshine’ t-shirt in collaboration with The Princes Trust with £20 of each sale going towards the charity. The t-shirt is designed to reflect positivity.
MATILDE Jewellery
The jewellery brand Matilde is supporting IWD by donating 10 per cent of all sales of their Deusa ring (Portuguese for “goddess”) to Plan International, a charity promoting equal opportunities across the world.
Anissa Kermiche
Anissa Kermiche has designed the ‘bra’ earring to mark this International Women’s Day. Sales from this item helps to fight violence and abuse against women and girls by donating a portion of the proceeds to Solace Women’s Aid.
Net-A-Porter x Women for Women International
Net-A-Porter is donating 100 per cent of the profits from 12 exclusive pieces to Women for Women International. Spanning ready-to-wear, lifestyle and jewellery, the collection includes collaborations with brands such as Anissa Kermiche, Emilia Wickstead, Simone Rocha and Alighieri.
Bella Freud x Daisy Walker x Solace Women’s Aid
Bella Freud and Daisy Walker have come together in aid of Solace Women’s Aid with a series of intimate portraits depicting love in all its forms, coinciding with Bella Freud’s latest Love is the Drug candle.
Harwell Godfrey x Futures Without Violence
100% of proceeds from the sale of the purple Chalcedony Heart will support the Courage Museum, a ground-breaking initiative of Futures Without Violence (FUTURES).
