Naomi Campbell has announced that she will kick off London Fashion Week next month by hosting her next Fashion For Relief show on the eve of the showcase. The event will continue her mission to raise awareness of the war against Ebola, which she started last September with her pop-up shop in Westfield London.
The fashion extravaganza will bring together a host of the supermodel’s famous friends, Diane von Furstenberg, Margherita Missoni and Daphne Guinness. They will take to the catwalk wearing creations from designers including Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Azzedine Alaia, Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney, Balmain, Marchesa and Versace.
“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.”
Next month’s event – which will take place at BFC HQ Somerset House – will also feature a special auction, comprising items donated from international artists and fashion houses – proceeds from which will benefit the Disaster Emergency Committee: Ebola Crisis Appeal.
