The Final Collection
The Vivienne Foundation is proud to launch a new limited-edition collection of T-shirts, featuring four iconic prints. This marks the Foundation’s first official project since Vivienne’s passing, and reflects her enduring commitment to activism, artistry, and systemic change.
Prior to her death, Vivienne set out to design a T-shirt base which she felt was more in tune with the body, more of a luxury garment and more special. Therefore, she decided to create this simple draped neck shape which not only flatters the body but also flatters the graphics printed on it in the way that it hides, unfurls and exposes the image like a flag blowing in the wind.
Grown and knitted in Peru from organic cotton. Printed in England.
Vivienne arranged the manufacture of a first run of these T-shirts for the Foundation. We have decided to use these blanks in this instance as a limited edition collection of four different iconic designs.
These are a limited quantity available for pre-order.
The garment label printed in silk on the back of each T-shirt was drawn by Vivienne intended for each garment of her collection. The branding and colours of the foundation stem back from Vivienne’s ink colour she would write letters in as well as the heart symbolising how she would often sign off her letters to those near and dear to her.
This has been embroidered in different locations on each of the designs.
THE CAUSE
We have carefully picked four grassroots organisations aligning with the four pillars of the Foundation.
-
Peace Direct is an international charity dedicated to stopping violence around the world and creating a just world, free from violent conflict.
We do this by supporting local peacebuilders in some of the most challenging conflict environments worldwide. We support local people because they are the experts in the conflicts that affect their communities, and only they understand what it takes to create peace that truly lasts.
Peace Direct has over 25 local partners across 14 countries – including Syria, DR Congo and Sudan. Every day, these remarkable organisations work tirelessly to tackle the causes and consequences of conflicts affecting their communities, finding creative ways to build peace, save lives and end cycles of violence.
-
The Environmental Justice Foundation campaigns get governments and businesses to protect biodiversity, climate, and our shared human right to a secure environment. We partner, train, and equip environmental defenders, Indigenous peoples, and journalists in the Global South, helping them speak truth to power and hold those who harm our planet to account.
EJF's climate campaign demands greater recognition and protection for climate refugees, the people forced from their homes by extreme weather events. EJF works with frontline communities, using film to document the effects of a heating world on our most basic human right to a safe and secure natural environment and we campaign for the protection of Nature's carbon stores - the wetlands, forests and our global ocean that together can protect us from climate change. -
The Erasing 76 Crimes news site (76crimes.com) covers the human toll of dozens of countries’ anti-gay laws and the struggle to repeal them.
Through the site's Project Not Alone, we publicize the stories of imprisoned victims of homophobia in Cameroon and Nigeria and invite readers to donate money to feed and free those prisoners. We have freed more than 45 LGBTQ prisoners since 2019.
Through the site's Qtalk project, the free Qtalk smart-phone app connects LGBTQ+ Nigerians to confidential advice from volunteer counselors. Currently, it serves more than 4,000 Android and iPhone users. -
Incredible Edibles With the cost of the living crisis globally this organisation focuses on encouraging communities to grow their own food on much of the public land they wrongly believe is inaccessible due to lack of knowledge withheld by governmental figures.
