Topshop for Charity

topshop humankind dress.jpgTopshop’s torn a sheet from Margherita and Lauren Bush’s playbook with their latest design effort -

A collaboration with Humankind and AfriKids to produce a six-piece line to benefit communities in northern Ghana.

Each summer piece is inspired by West African design, handcrafted according to Fairtrade, and the money itself will go towards setting up an eco-lodge to boost the local economy.

From the looks of the dress at left, this collection should be cute and simple, perfect for summer, and the perfect excuse to get those last bits of hot-weather shopping in before the guilt of saving for a Fall coat weighs you down.

Can you believe we’re already thinking about that?

Ironically, the weather here in London is so bad I've broken out some of my autumn wardrobe staples already. So I doubt I'll be buying any more summer dresses this year.
