Got to see the Designer of the year nominees at the Design Museum in London today and one of the nominees is Vivienne Westwood for her Ethical Fashion Africa Collection. She joined forces with the International Trade Center to create a range which would create long term work for marginalised women in Nairobi, Kenya.

The range of bags, is made from recycled materials and Masai glass beads.

'The project gives people control over their lives - charity doesn't give control, it does the opposite, it makes them dependent.' Vivienne Westwood
