Fashion and Philanthropy: A Brand New Union

For many fashion and philanthropy feel worlds away from each other. Fashion seems focused on making oneself feel and look their best. On the other hand, philanthropy is focused on giving selflessly without return. In recent years the lines between the two have been dissolved. There’s no shortage of socially conscious brands showcasing issues important to them. At the same time customers want to feel like they are making a difference. It’s the perfect union. There are plenty of ways to blend philanthropy and fashion. Frequently this means producing a limited-edition item or organizing an event. A new popular way is utilizing a “buy a pair, give a pair” formula. It’s no surprise giving in style has gained such popularity in recent years.

Spreading the Word Through Fashion

Companies and charities developing relationships is a win/win for consumers, designers, and most importantly, the causes they benefit. Nonprofit organizations benefit significantly when working with designers who are passionate about their cause. As a result, designers have started using Fashion Week to spread the word about their passion for compassion. First, designers have a built-in voice with a wider reach. Second, people look to them to find what’s trendy, cool, and fashionable. Lastly, their voice spreads farther faster than the average charitable campaign. This is especially true because up and coming designers are younger and far more socially conscious than ever before. There is no shortage of companies and trendsetters making a difference by combining fashion and philanthropy. As Tyler put it, “Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it.”
