Fashion event organised in aid of earthquake-stricken Haiti victims

Supermodel Naomi Campbell through her pop contacts in the fashion, music, film and TV worlds, organised a charity event for women and children in earthquake-stricken Haiti. The show also paid tribute to the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen.

Two of Britain's best-loved comedians got up close and personal after locking lips on the catwalk.

Celebrities like the model Kate Moss, Dame Shirley Bassey, Linda Evangelista, Geri Halliwell and Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh strutted their stuff on the catwalk wearing outfits by McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana.

Ronnie Corbett, cricketer Andrew Flintoff, EastEnders' Larry Lamb and Piers Morgan modelled designer suits.

Wearing a gold corset Vivienne Westwood dress, Ms Campbell accompanied mum Valerie and Britain's Got Talent judge Morgan, while the heavily-pregnant Denise van Outen - in a white-flowing Jasmine di Milo gown - received rapturous applause.

A fund-raising auction followed the fashion show, where a signed painting by Damien Hirst sold for £300,000.

A dress designed by Mr McQueen, specially designed for and worn by Moss, went for £100,000.

Bob Geldof, Prime Minister Gordon Brown's wife Sarah and retail boss Sir Philip Green were among the guests at the Fashion for Relief show at London's Somerset House.

It was held in aid of the White Ribbon Alliance, which promotes safe pregnancy and childbirth around the world.

Funds raised at the show will go towards ensuring mothers and babies are at the heart of the Haiti's new health system, organisers said.

Ms Campbell said: "I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has generously donated their time and effort to make Fashion for Relief happen.

"So many women, children, families and communities around the world are affected by maternal mortality.

"The work of the White Ribbon Alliance will be made easier with the incredible amount of money we have raised here in London."

Mrs Brown, who is patron of the White Ribbon Alliance, said: "It's a privilege to be back here again at Fashion for Relief - such a powerful cause.

"British people have been exceptionally generous in response to those affected by the Haiti earthquake disaster, raising £77 million so far and playing their part.

"Tonight we can help rebuild Haiti's future and protect their new generation."

All the glamorous designer clothes worn at the show will be sold on www.net-a-porter.com from March 15.
