If there’s one thing Naomi Campbell can’t do, it’s staying away from the fashion industry.
Supermodel Campbell just can’t seem to stray from causing a fashion scene as she is set to kick off London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2015. Last September saw the model open her own pop-up shops called ‘Fashion For Relief’ in which all money made went towards the fight against Ebola. The event allowed the model to sell designer garments worn by celebrities off to the public, restocked each day, the shop, located at Westfield London, was a hit.
Campbell has revealed her next move is to host another Fashion For Relief show on the eve of the showcase. Like previously, the show will continue to raise awareness Ebola which made its way to the UK this month.
It is believed that a few famous faces will be making an appearance at the charity show, including the likes of Kate Moss who is a close friend of the model. The designers which are believed to be included are Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Azzedine Alaia, Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney, Balmain, Marchesa and Versace, whose designs will take to the catwalk.
"I'm thrilled to return to London to open London Fashion Week for this very special cause close to my heart," said Campbell. "The Fashion For Relief Show is an incredible event and this year we hope to raise more money than ever before. Raising awareness for Ebola and educating about its prevention is crucial to help prevent the spread of this deadly disease."
Tickets went on sale on Thursday, February the 29th at 8:00pm and cost £50 for a bench seat. The show is going to take place at BFC HQ Somerset House.
The show will also feature a special auction after the catwalk consisting of various donated items from artists and fashion houses which will go towards to charity ‘Disaster Emergency Committee: Ebola Crisis Appeal’ which on-lookers may purchase.
Last year the show managed to make an least an incredible £1.4 million to help victims of the Haitian earthquake and Campbell only hopes to do even better this year. ▪
