Fashion Gets Inspired!


Last week on World Aids Day, RWD attended Vinspired's
celebrity fashion show which aims to raise money for HIV charities.

Taking place at Central Saint Martin’s Innovation Centre, celebrities had donated their clothes to be cut up and customised by young volunteers across the country. On the runway celebrity internet model Leah Wood walked down the catwalk in Gordon Brown’s party conference customised shirt while Radio One's Edith Bowman provided the tunes.

Along with items on the runway which was shown by web models, fashion models, female models. Garments donated by stars such as Hollywood actress Kate Winslet, champion boxer Ricky Hatton and model Twiggy will be auctioned as part of a unique recycled clothing collection called Fashion Favours, launched by Vinspired.com – the youth volunteering website.

Fronted by designer Ben de Lisi and T4's Miquita Oliver, the Fashion Favours campaign raises awareness of the socio-environmental issues around the culture of disposable fashion, while also raising money for charity Body & Soul.
