In this new blog series, the designers over at EDUN open up their collection of inspirational images they use to help shape and design new items and collections. EDUN, started by Ali Hewson and husband Bono, was founded on a commitment to encourage sustainable trade with Africa and promote local economic opportunities. With T-shirts made from cotton in Uganda, and using factories in Kenya, Madagascar and Tanzania, EDUN strives to be a socially responsible fashion brand creating positive change in the world.
