From season to season, Article 23 design ethical & organic collections that reaffirm its identity; marrying sportswear & eveningwear, a strong graphic black & white collection that is underlined by an exciting accent of color.
In response to the article 23 of the Declaration of Human Rights, the collection is engaged from its conception to produce an ethical fashion brand. The collection is produced in India where it collaborates with a women self-employment center. Environmentally conscious, the collection is organic & natural, from fabrics to dying.
Article 23 is the product of a partnership linking creativity, fair-trade projects & sustainable development. It is the result of a tight partnership between two gifted designers: Adam Love, Graphic Designer & Naia Rico, Ethical Fashion Designer
Adam Love has worked for the last 20 years in a variety of creative fields & it is this experience that he has brought to the collections he has created for Article 23.
Naia Rico, a young & cosmopolitan stylist, was inspired by the various cultures she was brought up in. Born in Denmark, from a Portuguese father & a Danish mother, she was educated in London at the prestigious school of Central St Martin’s & London College of Fashion. Rubbing elbows with Haute Couture and collaborating with stylists such as Matthew Williamson, Ann-Sofie Back & Berube.
Her work combines style & ethics, working with organic fabrics. For Naia Rico, fashion is a simple & accessible means of communication. An image is direct, so is a garment "No word is worthy; silence is its most simple expression”.
