Karen Walker x Kenya

Designer Karen Walker teamed up with UN's International Trade Centre Ethical Fashion Initiative for her new Summer 2014 collection, Karen Walker Visible. The initiative saw Kenyan artisans commissioned to make screen-printed and beaded sunglasses pouches for the collection. Some of those involved in the project - machinists, cutters, tailors, production managers, metal workers and members of the Maasai group who create the beading work also feature in the campaign, which was shot by photographer Derek Henderson (who also shot her previous campaigns).

Fashion Illustrators, Dream Creators

There is something about the simplicity of pencil to paper. How a blank page can come to life when a talented hand guides the pencil. The joyful act of drawing comes so naturally when we are children but sadly it's something we tend to do less of as we grow older.

This group of present day fashion illustrators, however, have mastered their talent to create some amazing pieces of art.
