project overview

Driving Global Change

When The Vivienne Foundation, the new non-profit organization founded by fashion icon Vivienne Westwood, came to us for help, we knew we had a project of colossal proportions on our hands.
The defining mark and unmistakable clue was Vivienne Westwood’s “Active Resistance to Propaganda” manifesto – a must-read core tenet of her activism. It set and voiced an unprecedented standard of social and environmental responsibility that lives on through her legacy. The Vivienne Foundation holds its partners to the same lofty standards it holds for itself. One of fashion’s titans tasked us with crafting a website and brand to reflect their mission to create a better society and halt climate change. We stepped up to the plate.

Our team began by working closely with The Vivienne Foundation to understand their four inextricably linked pillars of change: halting climate change, stopping war, defending human rights, and protesting capitalism. With this understanding, we created a cohesive brand identity that effectively communicates their mission and values.

BRANDING

The Blueprint For a Timeless Mission

Change demands a conviction to break away from the norm. The visual identity we created was a battle cry against indifference and a call to arms for the unsure. It included a logo, color palette, typography, and imagery, all handpicked to evoke feelings of change, activism, and hope. We provided brand guidelines to ensure consistency – wherever you encounter the brand, the same message of change will be clear, felt, and resonate.

Web Design & Development

Battling Indifference With Modern Design

Our digital strategists designed a website that effectively communicates the key goals and mission of The Vivienne Foundation, highlighting their partnerships with NGOs and efforts to raise awareness and fundraise for organizations aligned with their mission. We included clear calls to action and streamlined donation forms designed for effortless completion and an intuitive visual flow.

The website was developed using WordPress, ensuring that it was easy to navigate so that casual visitors could become committed agents of change. We also crafted a modern, visually appealing design to help transform passion into action.

Through our involvement with the Vivienne Westwood Foundation, we helped boost inquiries, donations, and, most importantly, spark much-needed change in how we view our role in the future of our planet. Our ongoing partnership flourishes as they regularly return with new initiatives, while their enthusiastic referrals have led to meaningful collaborations with other like-minded organizations.

Social Media & Graphic Design

30,000 Instagram Followers in 30 Days

Watching the snowball effect happen in real time is always an exhilarating experience. Pleased with our work and following a successful launch, Vivienne Westwood Foundation asked us to craft a social media strategy and graphics for the first month post launch. We put our heads together to execute the social media strategy and content creation, growing the Vivienne Westwood Foundation’s Instagram following to 30,000 in one month. An integral part of this was not only a celebratory launch campaign but an ongoing narrative of the company’s purpose and mission. Combining striking graphic design with consistent brand storytelling and targeted engagement tactics, we built a thriving community that continues to grow using our content strategy and design templates.
