Liberty Discovers

In the UK alone, an estimated 1 in every 700 people are trapped in modern slavery, and the effects of COVID-19 are worsening an already critical situation. As part of our Liberty, for Life 2020 partnership with The Sophie Hayes Foundation, CEO Red Godfrey-Sagoo tells us why this is a cause that needs your support - promoting freedom for everyone, everywhere, always.

Colville is a collective of designers, established in 2018 by former Marni design director Molly Molloy and former fashion director of British Vogue Lucinda Chambers, with a network of regular collaborators and project partners.
