Fast fashion retailer Mango's newest capsule collection celebrates International Women's Day and is a collaboration with Mexican artist Ana Leovy. The collection consists of two t-shirts and a tote bag that are made with sustainable materials while spotlighting artist Ana's unique illustrations.
Mango chose to work with the artist as she is known for work that "centers on celebrating diversity by creating stories through forms and colors inspired by fashion, culture, dreams, and everyday life." The artist also recently spoke about the partnership naming the "duality of strength and sensibility that women possess" as one of her biggest inspirations.
All sales proceeds from Mango's new International Women's Day collection will be donated to the Vicente Ferrer Foundation (VFF), an organization that promotes women's independence and empowerment while working to fill gender-related financial and educational gaps across India.
