Net-a-Porter is celebrating some of their favorite ladies this International Women’s Day with the launch of six exclusive t-shirt with proceeds benefiting Women for Women International, a non-profit organization that helps women living in war-torn countries to rebuild their lives. The 2018 campaign raised enough to support over 170 women through the charity’s year-long training program, whilst also creating a ripple effect of change which empowers their families and communities. This year, the Net-a-Porter collection features six t-shirts with designs by Victoria Beckham, Isabel Marant, Ellery, Rosie Assoulin, Alexa Chung and Perfect Moment. #GirlBoss.

Each T-shirt is an interpretation of the designer’s idea of women’s empowerment and courage. Chung elevates female bravery and strength, describing the feminine essence as scared and praising its power. Victoria Beckham nurtures concepts of sisterhood and compassion, writing in her own handwriting “I am her” and uniting women across the globe, whilst Isabel Marant’s vibrant and uplifting You Go Girl! T-shirt encourages and applauds women. Inspired by female bravery, Perfect Moment’s playful design sends a positive message, celebrating strong and powerful women. Cue Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls)”.

All profits from the collection will go toward Women for Women International’s critical work helping women survivors of war to rebuild their lives and inspire hope for the future. The organization enrolls women living in some of the world’s most dangerous places on a year-long training course where they learn about their rights, health, a vocational skill and gain a sisterhood of women with similar experiences. The organization has helped over half a million women since its inception in 1993.

“The work of Women for Women International is a wonderful testimony of sisterhood and we’re proud to stand together in celebration of International Women’s Day.”

–Alison Loehnis–

“We are delighted to, once again, support the humanitarian work for Women for Women International in partnership with six very talented female designers,” said Alison Loehnis, president of Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter. “It is an honor to, in some small way, help the incredibly brave and strong women the cause supports. The work of Women for Women International is a wonderful testimony of sisterhood and we’re proud to stand together in celebration of International Women’s Day.”

“Women in our program have experienced unimaginable trauma but Net-a-Porter’s support reminds the women we work with that they are not alone or forgotten,” said Brita Fernandez Schmidt. “Each T-shirt in this collection sends a powerful message of support, sisterhood and solidarity. Through this campaign and vital funds raised, Net-a-Porter, along with six inspiring female designers, are helping to transform the lives not only of the women we work with but also their entire communities.”
