ISLP is proud to collaborate with Fashion Makes Change, an organization that works with all facets of the fashion industry – including non-profits, brands, and consumers – on a global scale to both empower women and take climate action. Fashion Makes Change’s model solicits customers to make small donations while checking out both online and in stores, and then, with the help of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, uses the donations to sponsor vetted and impactful women’s empowerment programs. Through women empowerment, the organization also supports community inclusive development and funds capacity building opportunities for women in the supply chain, making Fashion Makes Change a fitting ISLP client and partner.
ISLP mobilized pro bono legal support to assist Fashion Makes Change on a range of matters leading to its launch. Cara Smyth, Chair of Fashion Makes Change, shared that “we feel delighted and privileged to have the remarkable global counsel of ISLP guiding our effort to create change in the Fashion industry on an international scale. Alejandra [Cicero] and team were with us at the very beginning of this journey, and continue to help shape our work as Fashion Makes Change scales in its mission.” ISLP continues to provide pro bono legal support to Fashion Makes Change on the multitude of mission-driven initiatives that it undertakes.
