All those who are compassionate to people suffered in the result of a horrible earthquake in Haiti try to find ways to help. While socialites and actors sell their own couture outfits and design T-shirts and bags, Naomi Campbell decided to do something she knows well and is very good at –organizing a fashion show for charity and modelling clothes. It might be her first time being the leader of the event but she did it perfectly.
Lots of predictions were made about the show parade of stars but still there was too much we didn’t know. And finally it happened. Fashion For Relief Haiti event was held as a part of Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week at Bryant Park’s The Tent on Friday (February 12).
The show was fantastic. The models and celebrities walked the runway in beautiful designer clothing to raise money for those in need. Some did make a stir by appearing at the catwalk, for example Chris Brown, Kelly Osborn, Sarah Ferguson, Agyness Deyn and of course Naomi herself.
The last part of the show was dedicated to honouring Alexander McQueen. Seven models wore his fabulous creations. A few pairs of monster shoes were worn but, fortunately, no one was hurt.
However, it was Agyness Deyn who shocked everyone as well as made those smile. The supermodel fell down twice in her huge Burberry shoes and had to finish her way barefoot.
Campbell said before the show that she’s always nervous before walking the runway, ‘but just doubly nervous’ for the relief show because she had to be dependent on friends to collaborate and wanted everyone to enjoy it.
