Meghan Markle to Launch Clothing Line with Proceeds Going to Charity

*Duchess Meghan Markle has confirmed that she will release her own clothing line later this year, as part of a partnership with Misha Nonoo, fashion brand Jigsaw, and British retail stores Marks & Spencer and John Lewis. 

The collection is for a good cause too — for every item of clothing purchased, another will be donated to charity.

Markle announced the news in British Vogue’s upcoming September issue, which she guest-edited. Proceeds of the collection will go to Smart Works, Markle’s charity that helps unemployed women get back into the workplace, Business Insider reports.

Equally, you’ll find grassroots organisations and incredible trailblazers working tirelessly behind the scenes to change the world for the better. • “Guest Editing the September issue of British Vogue has been rewarding, educational and inspiring. To deep dive into this process, working quietly behind the scenes for so many months, I am happy to now be able to share what we have created. A huge thanks to all of the friends who supported me in this endeavour, lending their time and energy to help within these pages and on the cover. Thank you for saying “Yes!” – and to Edward, thank you for this wonderful opportunity.” – The Duchess of Sussex #ForcesForChange

“For each item purchased by a customer, one is donated to charity,” the duchess writes in Vogue. “Not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story, it reminds us we are in it together.”

We’re sure Meghan’s collection will be a huge success, as nearly every item she wears sells out within hours of her being photographed wearing them. It’s what royal watchers have dubbed “The Meghan Markle Effect.” 

Vogue editor Anna Wintour once called Markle’s style “inspiring.”

Markle declined to pose for her guest-edit Vogue issue because she thought it would have been “a boastful thing to do for this particular project,” said the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful.

“In the end, she felt that it would be in some ways a ‘boastful’ thing to do for this particular project,” he added.
