The fashion industry contributes to charity and charitable areas of society in several significant ways: 1. Monetary Donations: Many fashion brands donate a portion of their profits to various charitable organizations. Brands like TOMS are well-known for their one-for-one model, where for every product sold, an item is donated to someone in need. TOMS, for example, donates a pair of shoes for every pair purchased, supporting children worldwide. 2. Product Donations: Companies often donate clothing and footwear to those in need, particularly during natural disasters or in underserved communities. Brands like H&M and Uniqlo frequently engage in clothing donation drives, providing essential clothing to vulnerable populations. 3. Collaborations with Nonprofits: Fashion companies collaborate with nonprofit organizations to create special collections where proceeds support charitable initiatives. For example, Madewell partnered with the Surfrider Foundation to protect beaches and coastlines, and PacSun’s collaboration with ME to WE supports education, healthcare, and clean water projects in developing communities. 4. Sustainable Practices: By adopting sustainable and ethical practices, the fashion industry supports environmental charities and promotes social responsibility. Brands like Stella McCartney and Eileen Fisher are known for their commitment to sustainability. Livari, a zero-waste womenswear label, partners with Cool Effect to support carbon reduction projects. 5. Awareness Campaigns: Fashion brands use their platforms to raise awareness about important social issues, leveraging their influence to garner support for various charitable causes. For example, Gucci’s Chime for Change campaign advocates for gender equality. 6. Employee Volunteering: Many companies encourage their employees to volunteer their time and skills to support local communities and charitable projects. Programs like these help build a culture of giving within the industry. 7. Supporting Emerging Talent: Clouted Legends, for example, is committed to supporting emerging designers and artists by providing scholarships and funding for creative projects. This initiative not only fosters new talent but also contributes to the broader community by encouraging artistic expression and innovation. Overall, the fashion industry, including brands like Clouted Legends, leverages its resources, influence, and reach to make meaningful contributions to charitable areas of society, addressing both social and environmental issues.

Looking for a sustainable and affordable way to update your wardrobe? Have you considered buying from charity shops?

Let's start a conversation about the circularity of fashion. #WhatsBarbaraUpToNow? #SecondHandFashion #ReBuildLives

🎯 Career coach focused on strategic, tactical and emotional aspects to find and Land your dream job | Empowering ambitious women to land THE job and design career success on their terms |Smart Works Reading EDI Trustee
Recently we held a wonderful event and raised £7,000!! Truthfully, every single penny is really needed. The event looks glamorous and yes it was - beautiful clothes, wonderful community of women and an incredible setting at Danesfield House Hotel and Spa. Behind all the glitz and glam though, what we do is simple, we empower women back into work through interview coaching and dressing. I'm extremely proud to be their EDI Trustee. This is about helping women regain their confidence and remind them of their self worth. Yes we do help a large proportion of women from under represented groups but contrary to popular belief, these issues effect all of us to some degree at some point in our lives 💥 When you feel like that, you need someone who is in your corner and is willing you to succeed and that's what we do! The ripple effect of a woman getting a job can't be underestimated - the positive impact on her family, her local community and ultimately her dignity and self worth is huge. Our service genuinely changes lives. 📌 This is a personal plea to any Thames Valley / Berkshire / Hampshire / Oxfordshire based businesses who would like to know more about what we do and support women - we need more funds to reach more women - no matter how big or small. The need has never been greater. If you're in an organisation and responsible for the CSR policy, involved in EDI and want to help your local community, then I'd love to talk to you. Thanks so much the wonderful world of LinkedIn 🙏🏾 #careercoaching #interviewpreparation #jobsearchstrategies https://buff.ly/3yaJBme

☆Award-winning Italian Style Coach | Personal Shopper | Colour Expert | Speaker ☆ 121's Consultations | Corporate collaborations ☆ Helping people look and feel their best, every day ☆ In person | Online ☆
So this happened recently.. I've been accused of wanting to only help privileged people because of my "buy less, wear more" beliefs and my personal/professional fight against fast fashion, cheap brands. What an example of twisting a good purpose into something mean, in this case snobbish and classist. Well, here's the thing (and if you've followed me for a while you should know): I don't accuse people for buying at P*****K, S***N, Z**A o H*M. First of all, I know some people truly don't have money. And for those people, the choice is limited between preloved and charity and fast fashion cheap brands. But also people who have money and choose to buy there..I don't accuse them, I was one of them many years ago! But I'm determined to show people that it's actually possible (and way better!!) to create many outfits with less pieces, and there's no need to buy loads of clothes every year. I want to encourage people to change their shopping habits and: * become a more sustainable consumer and make more conscious choices; * transform their wardrobe into a happy place, tidy, coordinated and easy to navigate; * feel more empowered through their style; * spend even less if possible, over time, buy investing in good quality pieces that last more than just one season. I could go on, but these are possibly the major benefits. When you create a brand, that brand reflects who you are. You can't make everyone happy, and you are called to make some choices. Well my choice is this.. And I hope that by spreading my words and method, more and more people will make the world a less toxic, and more human place, while also doing something good for themselves. I thought it was time to refresh some of the core values within One of a Style, so perhaps next time someone approaches me to work or collaborate, they'll know my point of view and they won't waste both our time. ---------- Said that, every single year since opening ONE OF A STYLE I have helped several charity organisations to raise money, I've donated my services and time for nothing in return, just for the joy of giving to less fortunate and more needy people. ----------- That's all from me Pals. Happy Summer ☀️ #brand #sustainability #personalstylist #personalshopper #fashion

Let's talk about sustainability and fashion 📢 I was very proud of our team last week at The Lawyer Awards when more than half turned up in reused outfits, rented dresses and charity shop suits! In the pic below you can spot... 🐢 Alex Taylor sporting his trusted turtleneck jumper from 2017. 💷 Charlotte Lear wearing a gorgeous Ganni dress that she rented from HURR. 👔 Gabriel Kennedy donning a suit he found for £50 in a charity shop. 👗 And myself wearing a Coast dress I bought back in 2018, which I also wore to my first The Lawyer Awards in 2022 (no one remembers what you wore to an old event when there are 1,000 people in attendance). So, why is this important? Because the fashion industry is responsible for 8-10 per cent of global emissions, according to the UN - that's more than aviation and shipping combined. Buying less, renting outfits and taking a punt on second-hand pieces really do make a difference 💚 #sustainability #climatechange #fastfashion
