Bono's Clothing Line To Open Store In SoHo

SOHO, NY — The fair trade fashion line Edun, developed by Ali Hewson and her husband Bono, is opening its first storefront in SoHo, the company announced this week.

The high-end fashion line was launched in 2005 by Ali and Paul Hewson, who is more commonly known as Bono. The brand claims to produce ethically sourced clothing that is largely manufactured in Africa in order to build "long-term, sustainable growth opportunities" for the continent, according to Edun's website.
