<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n Direct from WWD Eye Scoop<\/a> and written by Miles Socha<\/a>: Bono and his wife Ali Hewson are starring in a new ad campaign for Louis Vuitton<\/a> featuring Edun, the first time a label other than Vuitton is getting a fashion credit.<\/p>\n Instead of Vuitton, the two wear Edun, the ethical clothing label they founded in 2005 to encourage trade with Africa, and in which LVMH took a 49 percent stake last year. What\u2019s more, Hewson totes a handbag co-designed by Edun and Vuitton that comes dangling with a special charm that is the French firm\u2019s first made-in-Africa product. (It\u2019s also sold separately.)<\/p>\n The image of Bono and Hewson disembarking from a small airplane in an arid South African vista \u2014 with the tag line \u201cEvery journey began in Africa\u201d \u2014 is slated to break in mid-September in a range of daily newspapers, October magazines and on louisvuittonjourneys.com. The collaboration also will dovetail with an event during Paris Fashion Week, when Vuitton and Edun will unveil Africa Rising, a temporary exhibition of contemporary African art along with a showcase for the campaign and Edun\u2019s spring collection. Bono and Hewson are expected to attend.<\/p>\n Antoine Arnault, Vuitton\u2019s director of communications, said Edun\u2019s presence in a Vuitton campaign would give the small brand \u2014 and its mission to eradicate poverty through sustainable enterprise in Africa \u2014 international exposure.<\/p>\n Posted by Emma Pezzack: www.futurenatural.com<\/a> – the best organic beauty products<\/a> in the world.<\/em><\/p>\n
