Dior's "We Should All Be Feminist" Shirts Will Benefit Rihanna's Charity
One of the most-talked about designs from Maria Grazia Chiuri's first collection for Dior, spring 2017, was the "We Should All Be Feminists" T-shirt inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's essay and TEDx talk of the same name. Today, Dior announced that a percentage of proceeds from the sale of each shirt will benefit The Clara Lionel Foundation, Rihanna's non-profit organization.
Rihanna, who was just named the 2017 Humanitarian of the Year by the Harvard Foundation, started CLF in honor of her grandparents back in 2012. It supports global education, health, and emergency response programs.
The shirts will be $710 each and available at all Dior boutiques and online until May 15. A limited edition black version of the T-shirt will be available on Saks.com from March 14 to March 28.
"Seeing artists such as Rihanna wearing the We Should All Be Feminists T-shirt showed me how important it is for women to advance their fight," Chiuri said in a statement, "My position in a house as influential as Dior, but also my role as a mother, reminds me every day of my responsibilities and the importance of my actions."
Rihanna has a close relationship with Dior, having starred in the Secret Garden IV campaign in 2015 and designed a pair of namesake sunglasses for the brand in 2016.
