This International Women’s Day, our community of Incredible Women unites in the #PowerToChange
For the fourth year, NET-A-PORTER is proud to come together with Women for Women International to effect real change, helping women living in war-torn countries rebuild their lives and creating lasting change in their communities
Given the past year and the immense challenges faced by all of us around the world, it has never felt more important to celebrate sisterhood and togetherness. Therefore, this year we invite our global network to share their #PowerToChange commitment for a better world, and to harness our shared ability to bring about more equality, peace and prosperity for all women.
For 2021, NET-A-PORTER has collaborated with 12 female designers who have created 13 exclusive pieces across Ready-to-Wear, Lifestyle and Jewelry, with 100 percent of the NET-A-PORTER profits* donated to Women for Women International**. The exclusive collection consists of nine T-shirts, designed by Stella McCartney, Emilia Wickstead, Westman Atelier, Tove, Anya Hindmarch, Jennifer Fisher, Simone Rocha, Amina Muaddi and Ninety Percent; jewelry by Roxanne Assoulin and Alighieri, and homeware by Anissa Kermiche.
In addition to the donation of 100 percent of profits* from the sales within this collection, for every public post tagged #PowerToChange, @womenforwomen and @netaporter on TikTok or Instagram, between March 1 to March 8, 2021, NET-A-PORTER will donate $1 to Women for Women International**. We would love to see you take part in this, so please do share your posts and pledges!
