Design For A Good Cause At Berlin Fashion Week EVENTS, LABEL, MAIN 01.25.10Written By Ben

Ralph Anderl, designer for iC! Berlin, gathered 35 artists to design eyewear, t-shirts, and jeans which will be auctioned through a company Website to provide prescription glasses to poor people in Brazil who “have nothing.” Both Ralph Anderl and Maira Becke, a Brazilian model who lives in Germany, came up with the idea for the project.

Maira Becke stated, “It’s my consience about the difference (between) both continents and how big is the need there.” If all goes well, they hope to deliver about 2,000 frames by August.

The money that will be raised will also be used to provide the proper lenses.
