CITY OF JOY
THE WORLD’S
STRONGEST WOMEN
2021
Vlisco has donated all of the profit from the sale of the fabrics to the City of Joy where the women want to build a textile and fashion school. The school will teach the craft of African textiles with a creative, forward-looking perspective. 512,000 US dollars have been donated by Vlisco to start the school. Vlisco would like to encourage other donors and partners to join them in doubling this amount. As a next step, the designs have now been reprinted in different colours and with a completely different look. If the original design is still the same, the creative direction is more modern – just as the school is intended to be.
