Once again, art and fashion meet for a good cause.
This time it has happened with Naomi Campbell, Virgil Abloh, and Nick Knight together with the art director Peter Saville who, gathered by Stravos Karellis on the initiative of the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF), participated in a charity project dedicated to the diffusion of clean energy to support the Little Sun Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Olafur Eliasson, a non-profit organization that aims to bring sustainable solar energy to sub-Saharan African communities.
To promote charity, this all-star team has created a series of exclusive works entitled Enlightenment: Naomi with Saville has created 10 artworks based on the quotes that inspired her, with printed on canvases provided by Woolrich; Nick Night has made a video; Abloh has created a limited edition project focused on a solar energy lamp that can be detached from its support and worn like a torch.
"I believe that everyone has the basic right to breathe in clean air, so many families around the globe are forced to breathe in toxic kerosene fumes due to the lack of access to electricity. The solar-powered lamps that the Little Sun project provide can improve their health as well as protect our environment."

Abloh also expressed his enthusiasm for this charitable initiative:
"Using creativity to spread light on things that better humanity is a part of my ethos. Joining this team on the Enlightenment project was a great fit for me."
The fruit of all these exclusive collaborations can be seen from 8 to 10 August, of an exclusive installation during the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair.
