The Duchess each woman has just launched a fashion line for the employee every woman.
Meghan Markle, a widely criticized journalist, on Thursday launched a capsule collection for a controversial charity to prepare a job interview, while happily protecting her bearer – and her curator – from critics.
On the occasion of her first engagement after the post-maternity leave, the Duchess of Sussex made her debut with the collection at a John Lewis store on Oxford Street in London. Smart Works, a charity it supports, helps unemployed women find jobs.
The former actress "Suits" wore two outfits from the collection: an immaculate Misha Nonoo white button-down shirt and black Jigsaw pants, part of a costume included in the collection. You get the idea: basics of a wardrobe that make a woman look lively enough to be taken seriously, but does not say much about her style, aesthetics or his personality – which could very well be the king's mantra recently.
Meghan has been working with Smart Works since January and decided to help with the collaboration after finding that the donations of clothing to the charity were numerous, but that the choices and size did not always suit the clients they were supposed to help.
The price of the collection varies between 24 and 245 dollars; sizes start in European size 6 and some pieces are available up to size 24. It will be sold in the UK for at least two weeks starting on Thursday. Each retailer stores his own Smart Set pieces and not the entire collection, although John Lewis will also wear the puzzle suit.
For each item purchased within two weeks, the same article will be given to Smart Works, which is inspired by the philanthropy of the 1: 1 model made popular by the Toms shoe brand.
"Since I have been in the UK, it is very important for me to meet the communities and organizations on the ground who are doing a useful job and doing everything in my power to help them amplify their impact," said the duchess in a statement Thursday. pursuing its mission as women supporting women and communities working together for the greater good.

Today, a year later, I am delighted to celebrate the launch of another initiative of women supporting women and communities working together for the greater good. Thanks to the four brands that have partnered to support Smart Works as part of this special project – focusing on profits and community versus competition.

Designer Nonoo is Meghan's friend and one of four fashion houses and brands that have worked on the collection. In addition to Misha Nonoo and Jigsaw, Marks & Spencer offers a tunic dress in two colors and John Lewis & Partners has designed a tote bag, also in two colors. The idea was to provide the essential of the work clothes often necessary for the interviews and to enter the workplace.
"The capsule collection will provide us with the core products we need for our customers in centers across the country for the next six months," said Kate Stephens, executive director of Smart Works.
"We are extremely grateful to the brands involved for making this possible. Every woman who passes our door will know that another woman cares for her and has invested in her future. "
And maybe even a duchess who has invested in her own public image.
