Rosado Rules

Fabulous local ladies model a selection of high quality preloved clothing that has been given a second lease of life at the Collective Calling Charity Shop. These charismatic Marbella women who are mothers as well as business owners on the Coast, felt the need to highlight this fantastic opportunity to be sustainable while supporting important charitable causes. We applaud their initiative!

FAB & LOCAL

PRE-LOVED CLOTHING FOR CHARITY

DISCOVERED BY MADDIE QUINN PHOTOGRAPHY DAGMARA LEGANTE

Green Clothes on Evergreen Ladies is the title of this ambitious photoshoot that aims not only to raise awareness for the importance of recycling high value, still perfectly enjoyable garments but also supports pressing social issues.

Locally run charity organisation Collective Calling whose major project is the 'Centre of Hope' that rescues Tanzanian street children, is now also involved in helping Ukranian refugees fleeing to the Coast, as well as assisting the local homeless community with much needed food.

Veronica Tye and Gemma Carr, founder and ambassador of the organisation, have also volunteered to model some of the fabulous dresses that were donated by generous Marbella ladies of all styles and ages. None of the models are professional, everyone involved including the photographer and makeup artist offered their time and services free of charge. "We are just ordinary women doing extraordinary things," explains Gemma, "working on ways that help transition value to where it's really needed. All sales from the Collective Calling Tienda Solidaria in San Pedro go towards our causes and we make sure the outfits get a second chance to be loved without ending up in landfills."
