It’s always so inspiring to see women leaders and business women, especially when they join forces to create an even grander opportunity for other women. What is better than fashion? In my opinion nothing, until now...
Mary J. Blige unveiled a 25 piece, ready-to-wear collection with Catherine Malandrino and ELLE Magazine benefiting FFAWN, Blige's charity, at New York City's Museum Of Modern Art on June 15, 2010. The event came with a $1,000 a person ticket price, which will help cover college tuition costs for thirty graduates at the Women's Academy of Excellence in the Bronx.
“FFAWN is an acronym for The Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, Inc. and is dedicated to helping women overcome their personal difficulties to reach their full life potential. FFAWN believes that education is empowerment and through a range of programs encourages women to realize their dreams and pursue their individual goals.” Mary J. Blige has always been a trendsetter in music and with FFAWN, many more women in entertainment will follow her extraordinary humanitarian efforts.
"Catherine is real and she makes clothing for women of all shapes and sizes", says Mary in a statement answering why she decided to collaborate with Malandrino.
When you take fashion and give a greater cause than just #wearableart, you make it so KAASH. Be a Leader. Be inspired!
