Kate Moss and Daisy Lowe join Sass & Bide on the auction block.
She poses, she sings, she even designs her own line of clothing. But can Kate Moss draw?
That’s what bidders will decide tomorrow when the model’s drawing, along with art by Daisy Lowe, Mischa Barton, Twiggy, and Emma Hawkins hits the auction block. They’re all supporting The Shine Collective, a creative counseling workshop for abused children established by Australian design duo sass & bide.
The rules were simple: Interpret what “shine” means to you. The results show just how wide-ranging the interpretations are, from Barton’s bronze sculpture (“I wanted to create something that really embodied the word ‘shine’ and had a real brightness to it,” she explained) to Twiggy’s portrait in front a pile of stilettos (“When sass & bide asked me to be involved in their Shine campaign, I immediately thought – Shiny Shoes!”).
Anyone familiar with the label, which started as a denim brand before expanding to ready-to-wear, won’t be shocked to hear that “shine” is the theme; sequins are no stranger to the cutting-edge designs. But celebrating the brand’s 10-year anniversary with philanthropy, rather than with glasses of champagne, is a nice surprise. And unlike some exclusive parties, everyone’s invited to take part in the event—you can bid on an item by emailing
[email protected]. It might not make you look as a good as a pair of sass & bide jeans, but it will make you feel a whole lot better.
