Founders Greg and Jimmy, colleagues at innocent drinks, took inspiration from brands like TOMS shoes, and came up with the idea while at the office gym thinking about how we too often find ourselves complaining about menial things when there are real issues faced by many around the world. They then pitched for, and won, the £1000 innocent scholarship, voted by peers, to test the idea and have since launched the business with this funding.

The launch range comprises of four designs in Men’s and Women’s variants, with one example being: ‘Wifi’s down again’, which supports Telecoms Sans Frontieres (Communications without borders) whom help refugees and disaster victims reconnect with their families using satellite phones.

The full range can be purchased through fwpclothing.com, shipped Worldwide, and you can follow FWP Clothing on Instagram, facebook and twitter: @fwpclothing

 

 

Kate Moss Encased In Bronze For Pop Magazine

Kate Moss has knocked all of the pretenders to the throne clean away with her latest photo shoot: encased in bronze for Pop Magazine.

Whatever you think of Moss, it is impressive that she has managed to have a two-decade plus career in the fickle industry of fashion.

The 39-year-old is on the cover of the Autumn/Winter Pop Magazine, the biannual British fashion magazine. The bronze bodysuit was created by artist Allen Jones.

What do you think? Is Moss an icon?
