UN Ambassador Nicolas Cage is to give a speech at the launch of a new clothing line from luxury label, Beulah London, an initiative aiming to support The Blue Heart Campaign, Vogue reports:
LUXURY LABEL Beulah London, launched by Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan, has today unveiled the Beulah Blue Heart Campaign in association with the United Nations. The duo conceived the initiative after they spent time working in the slums of Delhi with women and girls forced into prostitution and have created two special limited-edition products – the Blue Heart Dress and Scarf – which will benefit the cause.
“For every beautiful Beulah London dress designed, there is an equally beautiful change happening somewhere else in the world,” the designers said. “The heart print is a distinctive nod to the Blue Heart Campaign and testament to the strong philosophy behind Beulah London. It highlights the fact that every woman is special and unique and deserves to be empowered by employment.”
On Tuesday October 18, the collection will launch at Dorsia, the private members club in London, with speeches by UN Ambassadors Nicholas Cage and Miro Sorvino. James and Pippa Middleton, Chelsy Davy and Lady Sophie Winsor are also expected to attend to lend their support to the cause.
What is the Blue Heart Campaign?
An awareness raising initiative to fight human trafficking and its impact on society.
The Blue Heart Campaign seeks to encourage involvement and inspire action to help stop this crime.
The Campaign also allows people to show solidarity with the victims of human trafficking by wearing the Blue Heart.
Very nice, I am glad to see Nic continuing in his UN ambassador role. It sounds like a worthy endeavour, and if the dress in the picture is the one that raises money, I think it is very pretty. I would love to have a blue heart pin, wonder if they have them at the UN site; must have a look.
It is wonderful that the actor we admire does such important work on the world stage ! This particular campaign seems a great way of highlighting the issues, by contrast to a luxury world that is almost it's opposite.
Lady T, I really had a hunt for a UN blue heart broach, but have not been able to find one. Seems like it would be great way to raise awareness and for people to show support for the campaign!
Me too Lady T, there is an amazing history to the heart shape. Very pretty pendants Gina! the outside of the first one seems most like the actual blue heart broach, that Nic is wearing here:
It certainly would be a great way to support the campaign and raise awareness if such broach were available...certainly seems more acessible than the blue heart dress!
I had good look too Lady T and could not find any follow up mention of Nic either! strange that Vogue should mention it though?
Talking of blue heart, I have always loved this picture... it represents Universal Love
This universal-love-pic is so beautifull and amazing! The blue is so wonderfull. Love is, what`s it all about. The greatest gift in the universe.I really love this one! Thank you so much for posting it, Lula! You made my day!

It is such an incredible picture isn't it Ladies Trueheart and Arwen! Unfortunatley I have no idea who creted it Meg, but I am sure, in the universal spirit of Love, they would not mind you saving and using the image too!
It seems to me that this image is very appropriate for the blue heart campaign, perhaps it was even designed with that in mind (please let us know if anyone reading this has further info! so we can give due credit and thanks!) and for me it has always represented universal love, which in my mind underlies all the campaigns in the world.
