Edun joins forces with Louis Vuitton in raising awareness for Africa

by Lara Ceroni

Edun-founders Ali Hewson and husband Bono (you know the one) have joined forces with Louis Vuitton in their Core Values campaign. The couple first appeared in an LV advertisment (shot in Africa, Ali carries the Louis Vuitton/Edun collaborative bag with profits going to Conservation Cotton Initiative Uganda) and are now supporting another inspiring initiative: A temporary public exhibition titled “Africa Rising” in Paris (From October 5th-17th at the Rue du Pont-Neuf.)

The exhibit will showcase African art from Jean Pigozzi, Seydou Keita and George Lilanga; all highly-respected artists from their home country.
