Naomi Campbell to open London Fashion Week with charity show

London: Supermodel Naomi Campbell will open the upcoming London Fashion Week by hosting a catwalk show, as a part of her Fashion for Relief charity, and as an auction to help raise money to fight Ebola disease.

Designers including Givenchy, Versace, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney, Marchesa and Balmain have donated pieces for the catwalk presentation. The fashion week will take place in February, reported Hello Magazine.

"I'm thrilled to return to London to open London Fashion Week for this very special cause close to my heart. The Fashion For Relief show is an incredible event and this year we hope to raise more money than ever before.

"Raising awareness for Ebola and educating about its prevention is crucial to help prevent the spread of this deadly disease," the 44-year-old model said.
The auction will take place on the same night as the fashion show.
