Naomi Campbell plans fashion show to aid UK flood victim
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has announced plans for a fashion show in London to raise money for the victims of this year's UK floods.
The event, Fashion for Relief, will take place at the finale of London Fashion Week.
Campbell recruited fellow models Yasmin Le Bon, Elle Macpherson and Jodie Kidd to help launch the cause - all arrived at a London press conference wearing the Burberry T-shirts that have been sold to raise cash for the cause.
In an interview after the launch, Campbell said
Kate Moss would be designing some of the clothes on the catwalk. She said: "I kidnapped Kate. She's going to be a designer. I don't know what it will be that she designs. She doesn't really like to do the shows... it will be Kate Moss the designer.
Campbell said: "We wanted to do something to help all those affected by the terrible UK floods, our way.
There is no denying the damage was done with the estimated cost for the recovery in the billions.
She added: "As a British model, in my home town in London, I am honoured to be able to put on and be involved in this kind of show."

Kate Moss to design a few pieces for the show
She said: "We wanted to create something unique and special that would allow people to help directly."
She said she would like the fashion community to keep coming together to put on similar events if the need arose in the future.
