Meghan Markle is trying her hand at fashion design.
The Duchess of Sussex, 37, announced in the September issue of British Vogue, which she guest edited, that she is developing a clothing line to benefit charity, according to royal expert Omid Scobie.
In partnership with British department stores Marks and Spencer and John Lewis & Partners, the brand Jigsaw and friend and designer Misha Nonoo, Meghan will launch a capsule collection of workwear to benefit Smart Works, a charity that helps unemployed and vulnerable women back into the workplace.
The collection will be made available at the end of this year. “For each item purchased by a customer, one is donated to charity,” Meghan wrote in British Vogue, per Scobie. “Not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story, it reminds us we are in it together.”
Nonoo, who is said to be the one who introduced Markle to Prince Harry, is known for her “capsule wardrobe” mindset and for using social media in innovative and experimental ways in the fashion space, especially as an early adopter of the direct-to-consumer sales model. Her designs also promote sustainability and female empowerment, two causes Markle famously supports as well.
Markle has promoted Smart Works in the past; in January she announced her patronage of the charity and stopped by to help style one woman for a job interview.
With fashion brands seeing bountiful gains from the “Markle Sparkle” effect, there’s no doubt that something created by the duchess herself will be a hot commodity.
