Lanvin and Designing Hope have been collaborating several times on different projects, enriching the Fashion Designing Hope project, an approach consisting in soliciting the world of fashion to create original objects made in support groups of people living with HIV in Africa.

DOUBLE IMPACT FOR THE COMMUNITY 

Making dolls is both a resource for women but also contributes to the distribution of school uniforms for disadvantaged children:
Thus, each doll sold by Lanvin finance the production of one school uniform sewn by the same group of women that will be freely distributed to the most disadvantaged children identified by school officials in the region of Piggs Peak.
These precious little faces were sold in all Lanvin boutiques.
