Especially when it comes to dreaming up creative concepts to combine fashion and charity. Fashion Favours, the UK's latest philanthropic fashion initiative that's touting sustainable-chic clothing for the greater good, is no exception.
The newly launched Fashion Favours initiative involves shredding the old clothes of celebrities to raise money for charity, while at the same time, persuading Brits to recycle their unwanted threads.
Kate Winslet’s suit and Twiggy’s jeans are just a couple of the celebrity cast-offs that have been cut up and customized by young volunteers to create Fashion Favours, a project that aims to highlight the issues surrounding throwaway clothing.
The items that have been created will be auctioned on fashionfavours.com and will also be part of a massive fashion show being held in London on World AIDS Day, December 1. Proceeds from the auction and the show will go to Body and Soul, a charity that works with young people affected by HIV in the UK.
DesignerLaundry gives the creative geniuses behind the Fashion Favours an enthusiastic "Oi!" The feel-good benefit is two-fold: Wear a piece of your favorite celeb for charity and simultaneously save the planet! Rubbish never sounded cool.
