Dress to impress: Sonya Lennon on supporting women returning to work

International Women’s Day is a big fundraiser for Sonya Lennon’s Dress for Success initiative, says Rowena Walsh

For Sonya Lennon, it was an entirely natural evolution. In 2011, the fashion stylist was starring in a prime-time TV show and she wanted to use her new high profile to help others. Once she discovered Dress for Success, it was the perfect fit for the presenter of Off the Rails.

Dress for Success is a non-governmental organisation which was founded in New York in 1997. It supports the economic independence of women by offering professional clothing and career advice.
