Meghan Markle está lançando uma linha de roupas para apoiar uma instituição do Reino Unido que ajuda mulheres desempregadas a encontrar emprego. A duquesa de Sussex disse que a coleção será fornecida para a Smart Works continuamente.

Ela se uniu à designer e amiga Misha Nonoo e aos varejistas britânicos Marks & Spencer, John Lewis & Partners e Jigsaw para criar a linha de roupas.

No perfil oficial do duque e da duquesa de Sussex no Instagram, eles afirmaram estar orgulhosos de apoiar essa iniciativa. A ideia surgiu após visitas de Meghan à organização, nas quais percebeu que, embora a Smart Work recebesse muitas doações, os itens e as cores eram incompatíveis para o mercado de trabalho.

"Muitas das marcas concordaram em usar o modelo um para um: para cada item comprado por um cliente, um é doado para a instituição", escreveu Meghan na edição de setembro da Vogue britânica, editada por ela. "Isso não apenas nos permite ser parte da história um do outro, mas nos lembra de que estamos juntos".

A Smart Works, que diz ter ajudado mais de 11 mil pessoas, fornece treinamento e roupas para mulheres desempregadas conseguirem um emprego.

Spotlight on: Smart Works We are proud to be supporting a very special initiative this autumn for @SmartWorksCharity! After quiet visits to Smartworks over the last year, The Duchess was moved by the impactful work being done by this non profit organisation that helps women into the workforce, equipping them with both the skills and clothes they need to feel job-ready. Throughout her visits she noticed that while the donations were plentiful, they were also notably a combination of mismatched items and colours which weren't always the right stylistic choices or sizes that didn't necessarily "suit" the job at hand: to make a woman feel confident and inspired as she walked into her job interview. As a result, launching this autumn, The Duchess will be supporting a collective to help equip the women of Smart Works with the key workwear essentials they need as they enter into the workplace. This initiative is supported by four generous brands who share the vision to empower the women of Smart Works to look and feel as they bravely venture in to what can often be a daunting environment for those who have been out of the job market. The brands have come together to work towards this united force for good, "[reframing] the idea of charity as community," as The Duchess writes in a piece for this month's British Vogue. They will follow the 1:1 model where an item from the collection purchased is an item shared with a woman of Smart Works because "not only does this allow us to be part of each other's story; it reminds us we are in it together."

Special thanks to: @JohnLewisandPartners, @MarksandSpencer, @MishaNonoo, @InsideJigsaw for supporting this very special organisation.
