March 2009
The supermodel, Naomi Campbell , and the Indian hotelier, Vikram Chatwal, have joined forces to stage a major charity event in Mumbai to celebrate the opening of Lakme Fashion Week.
The event, a gala fashion show, will be held on March 28th and will raise funds for Citizens For Justice and Peace (CJP) and the ongoing relief programs in the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks, providing much needed emergency medical care and ambulances.
A star-studded cast of models will walk the runway in Indian-inspired pieces by some of the most glamorous designer labels in the world, including Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Zac Posen, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and Diane von Furstenberg.
The designs will be available to buy via a silent auction, and online on eBay with proceeds being used directly to support CJP’s initiatives, in tribute to the 26/11 victims.
Naomi Campbell launched Fashion for Relief in 2005 to galvanize the fashion community to raise funds in times and places of need.
Events have subsequently been held in New York and London. Ms Campbell hopes that the event will send a message of solidarity and hope to the citizens of Mumbai.
