Personalities use fashion for Haiti earthquake relief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Joining fashion personalities including Gisele Bundchen, who donated $1.5 million to help Haiti's earthquake victims, supermodel Naomi Campbell has announced that her annual fundraiser Fashion for Relief will benefit the same cause.
Together with UK first lady Sarah Brown, Campbell will again put together the charitable fashion show featuring creations by Vivienne Westwood, Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen, among others, taking place on February 18, the evening before London Fashion Week kicks off.
Her announcement follows the news that the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) would produce a Fashion for Haiti t-shirt, which - produced by fashion brand Theory - will become available in US stores and on cfda.com on February 12, priced at $25.
Meanwhile, Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has designed a bag for Mango (she also is the official face of the brand) to benefit the Spanish Oxfam, which - depicting an ancient map of Haiti - will hit the brand's international stores in March, selling for €17.90.
