While part of Pikolinos’ team is in Kenya working on the 2013 Maasai Collection campaign with Olivia Palermo, WGSN celebrated last thursday in London the nominations’ ceremony to the Global Fashion Awards, where the candidature of Pikolinos was announced in the category of Best Design Team, thanks to our Maasai Project.
Pikolinos is the only Spanish company among all the nominated and it competes in the category of Best Design Team with the biggest names in fashion such as Marc by Marc Jacobs, The Cambridge Satchel Company and Kurt Geiger. The resolution of the awards will take place on November 5 in London, and it will be another step in this project of sustainable development with the Maasai Community.
With this project of fair and sustainable trade, we work to ensure the sustainability of the Maasai tribe, one of the most endangered tribes in the world according to the UN. Thanks to this project, Pikolinos was a finalist in the Global Fashion Awards 2011 of WGSN, in the category of Most Sustainable Brand.
