Edun, created to support economic development and trade with Africa, utilizes ethical manufacturing practices and a commitment to expanding their African-made fashion line to create both high-fashion garments and retail lines that spread awareness about African struggles, hardships and the ways we can help. Their Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection is both exciting and wearable – for the most part.
Edun focused heavily on knits this season, and the best of the lot were body-skimming dresses and skirts mixed with silky patterned tops. They also utilitzed turtlenecks - similarly to BCBG's RTW collection - and brought those same patterns back to create almost-over-the-top dresses that floated down the runway.
Even paired with pants, each outfit had a feminine flow that was unmistakably primal and powerful. The designs were both exciting to view and utterly wearable - if you have the cash to pick them up.

Companies like EDUN, which launched in Spring 2005, have been pioneers in the emerging eco-fashion industry. The clothing line was created by Ali Hewson and Bono and founded on the premise of trade as a means of building sustainable communities in developing countries to help foster economic growth rather than provide charity.
EDUN uses organic cotton wherever possible: 61% of the Fall/Winter 2008 collection and 50% of the Spring/Summer 2008 collection is organic. EDUN sources its organic fabrics from Peru, India, Turkey and Uganda. Not only are EDUN products made in a socially and environmentally conscious way, they are also super stylish!Companies like EDUN, which launched in Spring 2005, have been pioneers in the emerging... more
