Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle with a Smart Works client
Meghan Markle is back in the public eye and, with her sleeves rolled up, is promoting her new clothing collection for British charity, Smart Works. The line is aimed at assisting unemployed women get back to work with a donation for every item purchased from the five-piece collection.
Any single item purchased from the line will be donated to Smart Works, a charity that helps unemployed women look their best in job interviews.
She says, "You may never meet that person but you'll know when you put on that blazer or that shirt or you carry that tote or put on those trousers or that dress that some other woman on the other side of this country is wearing that piece because you made that purchase."
Sporting black trousers from Jigsaw and a classic white shirt from designer and friend Misha Nonoo, the Duchess' own outfit cost $273 (about R3 972).
In an Instagram post she thanked the collaborating brands for "placing purpose over profit and community over competition".
