In news that will thrill fashionistas across the globe, one of the world’s biggest style influencers, aka Meghan Markle, has launched her brand new clothing collection – and it’s every bit as stylish as you’d expect.
Landing online on Thursday, September 12, the new collection has the Duchess’ staple flair for fashion written all over it.
Oh, and you can bet we’ll be wanting to buy one of everything.
The new collection, designed in collaboration with Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Jigsaw and Misha Nonoo, features five carefully designed corporate workwear items that are simple, elegant and chic.
Spending months working with the designers from each British fashion giant, the Duchess created the five-piece capsule collection through her patronage Smart Works, which aims to help vulnerable women gain skills and confidence to reenter the workforce.
The collection will be sold on a ‘one-for-one’ basis, so for any item purchased, another is donated.
Meghan explained the initiative in her guest edit of British Vogue: “Not only does this allow us to be part of each other’s story, it reminds us we are in it together.”
Meghan has spent months creating the brand new line of clothing for charity.
(Sussex Royal)Each of the key workwear pieces from the capsule collection are very reminiscent of the Duchesses style.
Featured on Marks & Spencer’s website, a gorgeous midi-length crepe shift length dress immediately reminds us of Meghan’s simple, elegant silhouettes she often dons – and in black of course!
Coming in at AUD $40, the timeless work style is affordable to boot.
We can definitely see Meghan wearing this style! Buy it online here.
(Marks & Spencer)Over on John Lewis, there’s a gorgeous handbag that we’re also drooling over.
Styled with a smart blazer and cigarette-style slightly cropped black pants, the overall look is perfect for daytime workwear – and the tan bucket leather bag, which is priced at around AUD $109 is so chic!
How cute is this look?! By the bag here.
For Jigsaw, the Duchess created a pair of smart tailored black trousers and blazer, which looks smart and glamorous when paired together.
The trousers are priced at around AUD $214, while the blazer is AUD $356.
Obsessed with these pieces! The pants can be found online here, and the blazer here.
(Jigsaw)And every woman needs at least one crisp white shirt, right?
Well, Meghan Markle certainly agrees – and she and pal Misha Nonoo came up with the perfect design for her capsule collection.
With a semi-slim fit and button-up cuffs, we’re keen to add this one to our wardrobes STAT.
It’s one of the more expensive pieces at AUD $224, but that said, there’s no denying its elegance.
There’s nothing quite like a crisp white shirt! You can view Meghan and Misha’s design here.
Meghan’s capsule collection has been highly anticipated in recent weeks, and is a project close to Meghan’s heart.
The Duchess stated that the collection was “not a hand out, a hand held”, and her patronage Smart Works is living proof of this.
The charity has an aim to help thousands of women each year to get back into the workforce, changing their lives for the better.
