Ali Hewson


EDUN , Bono and Ali Hewson`s clothing brand participates in the creation of a platform for charities RE/CREATE New York to help victims of Hurricane Sandy, in the United States. 
EDUN joined efforts with artists and celebrities  like Marc Jacobs, Kate Moss, Anne Hathaway, Dita Von Tese, Donna Karan,  Michael Stipe,  Roman Coppola, among other to donate items such as clothes, perfumes, shoes, books, etc.to auction them in benefit of the victims of the hurricane.
All proceeds of the auction will be donated to New York Cares.
 EDUN participates with  a Mudcloth Heavy Twill & Denim Parka




Description

Aboubakar Fofana specializes in the dyeing techniques of West Africa in Mali, using natural indigo dyes and minerals to create beautiful and unique textile designs. Foufana lends his stunning work to EDUN’s SS13 collection, including this one of a kind Mudcloth Parka see on the runway. In preserving the indigo plants of West Africa, he keeps the traditional Malian practice alive while protecting Africa’s rich continent through his sustainable practices.



 "This is a perfect protective piece for the indeflatable New Yorker - a rough exterior and a soft underside. Panels of mud cloth from Mali complete the exterior for a look that has an element of global influence, but yet is distinctly urban - like New Yorkers."
Ali Hewson
