Lanvin is realeasing a limited edition doll to help benefit. Women living with HIV/ AIDs in Africa. You can snuggle up with a little Lanvin on crisp fall nights. Here is excerpt to an article written by Tasmin Balnchard of the Telegraph UK. Click on the link below to take a look at the dolls read about the women who are making them. Here is a look at Fall Lanvin 2011 since I cant post pics of the dolls
"We are always looking for an excuse to buy a little piece of Lanvin and here's one with a feel good factor attached. The French fashion house has enlisted the help of women in Swaziland who are diagnosed as HIV positive to hand stitch and embroider four limited edition fabric dolls each dressed in its own Lanvin Petite outfit. The dolls will go on sale in November to coincide with the launch of Lanvin's first luxury childrenswear range " ( by Tasmin Blanchard)

ReplyDeleteI am so confused ... dolls? Really?
ReplyDeleteLanvin commissioned women in Swaziland with HIV?
Do they make dolls? Was someone from Lanvin there?
Usually I accept these good tries but I am so missing something.
Happy Summer and What's Next.
(I am all for craft, women and doing good ... my own good cousin sells bow ties and donates a school uniform with each sale to a poor child in Africa where uniforms are mandatory and perhaps used as a weapon to keep poor children down .. it's just, to me, an awkward collaboration .. missing it)
@INYPT I am sorry I omitted the explaination of the partnership. Here is a little more via ELLE explaining the orginazation. I think its along the line of the " portion of the proceeds from sales of the dolls will fund the work of Dessine L’espoir (Designing Hope), a French NGO that helps women affected by HIV and AIDS in southern Africa support themselves and their families. At €250 each, the dolls cost more than 10% of the average annual income in Swaziland as reported by World Vision" ( via ELLE )
