BROWSE
Edun is the “global fashion brand” that was founded in 2005 by Bono and Ali Hewson. This hypothetical brand re-imagination for the socially responsible label focuses on hand-stitching to increase awareness of the personal affect Edun has on the people in Africa who make the garments.
[Ed.’s Note: We rarely show one-off, conceptual projects on FPO, but the stitched logo-thing is pretty great. — AV]

Project Description
Edun is a fashion brand bringing positive changes to Africa by elevating local garment productions and the continent’s world trade percentage. But their present brand identity system failed to deliver their vision.This project is focused on creating connections between Edun’s vision and its brand identity to increase public awareness.
I created a triangular geometry, developed from the logo itself, as a gesture of Edun’s mission. I used hand-stitched threads and dotted line prints to enhance the idea of “Made in Africa” in the redesign of garment tag, stationary, and runway invitation.
I turned their lookbook into a folded poster with cards to provide an option for using it as a decoration to increase brand exposure.
The pop-up CD package contains promotional videos for Edun’s projects in Africa. Also I designed a newspaper, Edun Post, to explain their history, vision, achievement and their ongoing projects.
Production Lesson(s)
Building an identity requires a deep dive into the client's background to gain full understanding of the nature of the project. And Hand Stitching should combined with punched hole, will save a lot of time.
