Visitors to the store will be able to attend daily styling sessions and fashion classes hosted by celebrities, experts and fashion editors. Good if you are stuck in a style rut!



All money raised will go fund women’s projects around the world from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to Democratic Republic of Congo, West Africa and South Africa. The projects support, protect and empower vulnerable women; campaigning against violence, empowering them to fight HIV and AIDS and offering the poorest girls the chance of an education.

We’ve got our eye on a vintage Chanel suit currently going for only £220!

No Woman, No Cry

Christy Turlington is in the January 2011 edition of Harpers Bazaar discussing her journeys to some of the most impoverished parts of the world—Tanzania, Bangladesh and Guatemala—to shed light on the life threatening struggles of pregnant women for her new documentary, No Woman, No Cry.

Christy Turlington by Victor Demarchelier

















She says: ‘Safe pregnancy and childbirth are huge problems that have been ignored worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 31 women die during pregnancy or childbirth. Birthing clinics are understaffed and women have to walk miles to reach them. If they don’t go into labour in a certain amount of time, they’re kicked out to make room for other women. It completely stunned me.’

She has joined forces with fellow models Alex Wek and Erin Wasson, actress Rosario Dawson and designer and actress Georgina Chapman to raise awareness and save lives with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.



A selection of dresses, including the Vera Wang gown Rosario Dawson is wearing, are being auctioned at charitybuzz.com from December 20 2010 until January 31 2011. All proceeds go towards White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood.
