Background
Refugees are a potential power and economic resource in our society, provided the labour market makes an effort to appreciate their background and removes the barriers for them to develop their competencies.

Think Twice - Every Little Think Matters

WHAT? This clothing line has been created with social as well as environmental sustainability in mind. It has been designed and sewn in collaboration with a group of refugee women and is made of discarded textiles from the fashion industry.

HOW? Based on the creativity, craftsmanship, talent and entrepreneurship of the refugee women the designer developed this stylish and resource-friendly collection which also embraces social inclusion, innovation and the women’s belief in their own strength. It may even pave the way to a job in the fashion industry.
