The fashion wear is a charity line. The collection will support Smart Works which is a charity that supports unemployed women trying to enter the workforce. The charity has over 2,000 women a year in two offices in London – one in two clients are successful in their job interviews. The charity will style outfits for the women and do coaching services for interviews.
When someone buys an item out of the charity collection the same item is donated to the charity to provide a better range of clothing for their customers.
This is not the first time Meghan has done a fashion line. Whilst being an actress for the popular drama series Suits and before marrying Prince Harry, Meghan had her own clothing line with Reitmans.
Writing in Vogue, Meghan said: “When you walk into a Smart Works space you’re met with racks of clothing and an array of bags and shoes. Sometimes, however, it can be a potpourri of mismatched sizes and colours, not always the right stylistic choices or range of sizes.
“Taking the idea further, many of the brands agreed to use the one-for-one model: for each item purchased by a customer, one is donated to the charity. Not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story, it reminds us we are in it together.”
