Sin embargo, la duquesa volvió a sorprender al anunciar que volvería a participar en la industria de la moda, pero ahora por una causa altruista.  Fue la cuenta oficial @sussexroyal la que confirmó su colaboración con Smart Works, una fundación sin fines de lucro que ayuda a reingresar al mundo laboral a mujeres desempleadas y vulnerables.

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.” For more information on how you can be part of another woman’s success story visit @smartworkscharity. Special thanks to: @JohnLewisandPartners, @MarksandSpencer, @MishaNonoo, @InsideJigsaw for supporting this very special organisation. And to find out more, read the September issue of @BritishVogue and stay tuned for more exciting updates this autumn. Photo©️SussexRoyal

Markle participará en la iniciativa junto con las tiendas departamentales Marks and Spencer y John Lewis & Partner así como con la marca Jigsaw y su amiga y diseñadora Misha Nonoo. Su objetivo es lanzar una colección cápsula de ropa de oficina.

Una forma de motivar

Smart Works, a través de asesoramiento en imagen y coaching motivacional, ayuda a las mujeres a prepararse para sus entrevistas de trabajo. 1 de cada 2 lo consigue después de un mes. Sin embargo, la duquesa notó que las donaciones de ropa eran amplias, pero rara vez la composición, color o tamaño de las prendas lograban el equilibrio necesario para conseguir un outfit estético. Por lo tanto, decidió apoyar en esa área y lograr aumentar la confianza y seguridad de las mujeres al momento de enfrentar sus entrevistas.

La línea de ropa funcionará a través del uno por uno, es decir, por cada pieza comprada una será donada. Con la aplicación de este modelo “no sólo nos permitirá ser parte de la historia del otro, nos recordará que estamos en esto juntos“, expresó la duquesa.

La colección se estrenará a finales de año y seguramente el estilo royal se verá reflejado en cada una de las prendas. Cabe destacar que la ropa no está únicamente pensada para lucir bien, sino que intenta impulsar la confianza y autoestima de las mujeres.
