All of the money gathered from the sale of entry tickets, the auction during the fashion show itself, the sale of Jaeger’s shirts, as well as the online auction of clothing and donations, will be donated to the White Ribbon Alliance, whose host this year will be the wife of the British prime minister, Sarah Brown.

“So many women, children, families, communities around the world are affected by maternal mortality. Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone in some way”.

“We are using this year's London Fashion Week catwalk to reach people, showcase the important work of the White Ribbon Alliance and raise money for this cause” said Naomi Campbell to the press a few weeks ago, reports Vogue.

According to bangshowbizz, Naomi said at last night’s fashion show “Fashion for Relief” that she plans on donating her designer clothing to people that she met at a public soup kitchen. Naomi was so impressed with her colleagues at London’s Whitechapel Mission, where she was performing a sentence of community service for an incident at the airport early this year.

“The people at Whitechapel are brilliant, they're coming tonight - they're lovely people. They're wonderful people and I'm so happy and blessed I'm going to now round up all the clothes and stuff that I don't want and get them down to them” said Naomi Campbell for bangshobizz.
