Charity is a simple way to help people in need. It’s great if you do it not for PR but because you are truly compassionate and generous.
A group of world-famous designers were asked to help raise money for a charity organisation that deals with homeless families and women who lost everything but want to get back on their feet.
The task was easy and creative – just right for a designer – to decorate small papier-mâché houses which would later be sold on auction.
Among those who found time and desire to help were Oscar de la Renta, Issak Mizrahi, Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, Donna Karan, Victoria and David Beckham, Justin Timberlake and lots of other celebrities who had hardly ever dealt with designing but wanted to do something useful for people who suffer.
The houses that we got in the result were pretty little things – colorful and spirited – which might go under a Christmas tree.
Vera Wang’s house was the most delicate and exquisite. The designer decorated it with lace, crystals, and flowers. Very nice to look at!
Isaac Mizrahi made the cutest house. He used a lot of pink and sparkle.
Oscar de la Renta’s house is simple but sophisiticated just like his clothes – nothing looks out of place.
Diane Von Furstenberg brough her feeling of fashion into the house design. It is all about patterns and positive attitude.
Donna Karan’s house looks dark and inhospitable from the outside but it is very nice and cosy inside.
Justin Timberlake worked on behalf of his fashion line and marked his house with William Rast logo. The house is in men’s style: very simple.
The action has been held on Charitybuss.com from November 9 and will last to November 30. Be fast to get a piece from couture and bring use to the society.
