It’s a simple slogan that implies strength, empowerment, and hard work. Kenya’s Ethical Fashion Africa, a program which was developed by the UN’s International Trade Centre empowers African women who are living in some of  Kenya’s poorest neighborhoods, to work and earn fair wages.  It’s quite symbolic that 2 powerful women who have worked hard for the ethical fashion world – Vivienne Westwood and Stella Mc Cartney are key supporters of this program. This collaboration and cooperative support moves Ethical fashion from being a simple term, to a term that will change the way we create and operate new enterprises.  It is even more significant that women like Stella Mc Cartney, Vivienne Westwood, Safia Minney, and several others are the spear-heads of these movements that empower women all over the world, something definitely to be celebrated on International Women’s Day.

At age 70,  Vivienne Westwood is still innovative, forward thinking, defiant
and full of nouveau edge, while bringing together her political and ethical
convictions in her new AW11/12, campaign for her Gold Label in collaboration with  Kenya’s Ethical Fashion Programme, her finger remains on the pulse of the future of fashion.
