The foundation of the Misha Nonoo brand has always been community. We have striven to include, represent and build a full and diverse representation of women. Whilst I understand that we will never understand, the events of the past week have thrown into stark contrast the world of equality we seek and the reality we live in. Henceforth, you have our commitment to learning and actively pursuing the role we as a brand, a team and individuals play in the fight for equality and anti-racism. As immediate steps, we are donating 10% of our sales to The Loveland Foundation – a non-profit and woman-led organization that provides therapy services for black women and girls. We have also begun an ongoing conversation internally about how we might create more opportunities within and around our business for people of color. We invite you to join this conversation; to help us identify, showcase and celebrate these women. I am personally heartbroken by these events and I am fully committed to our anti-racist stance and will continue to pursue new ways to educate myself and to advocate for equality.

At GANNI, we stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. As we’ve been researching and educating ourselves, our silence—born out of the fear of saying the wrong thing—has gone on for too long. Today, our company and founders will be donating $100,000 across the below organisations, in support of the fight to end racial injustice. @blklivesmatter @naacp @aclu_nationwide We know this is not enough—we must continue to listen, research, and educate ourselves about systematic injustice and state sanctioned violence against Black people globally. We have a lot of work to do, but we commit to doing better and commit to continued action. If you are thinking about making a purchase with GANNI this week, we ask you to consider donating to an anti-racism organization instead. Additionally, starting this week and each week moving forward, we will be commissioning work from the Black creative community to share on our platforms. If you are a Black creator that’s interested in collaborating with GANNI, please DM us. It’s a small start, but the change begins now. #BlackLivesMatter #NoJusticeNoPeace #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery #BreonnaTaylor

Alexander McQueen and Kering stand in solidarity against racism. Too many Black lives have been lost in the fight for equality in America. We will not stand by silently. We acknowledge that words alone are not enough and want to contribute to organisations focused on combating systemic racism and ending police violence towards the Black community in the United States. Today, we are making a donation to: – The @naacp, which fights to eliminate race-based discrimination in the United States. – Campaign Zero, an organisation that aims to reduce police violence in the United States. We will continue to develop initiatives and internal programs to foster respect, equality and fairness, recognising that it is a journey and we are committed to continuously doing the work.
