UPDATE!: GET THEE TO SAVE THE CHILDREN IN CLAPHAM!

Posted by the Fashion Junior at Large
Wondering what you can do to help the people of Haiti today? Here’s the answer: Get your butts down to Save The Children’s Clapham branch this afternoon where Brix Smith-Start is generously donating a van full of designer goodies from her boutique as well as items donated by her customer's including these summery little numbers:

See by Chloe flower dress with pleat detail: WAS £385, NOW £120!!!

 
Lungta de Fancy grey dress: WAS £329.50, NOW £100!!!


  See by Chloe flower skirt with pleat:  WAS £229.50, NOW £70!!!

"I wanted to do something with the clothes we had left over from the season, and turn them straight into cash that went directly to help the people of Haiti," says Brix. "I started a Twitter campiagn last Friday and yesterday we realised we had collected hundreds of items and were running out of space, so we called Save The Children!"

There are hundreds of items, not just high fashion womenswear from Charles Anastase and Phillip Lim, but menswear tailoring and shirts, and clothes from the hip east London skate shop, Wholesome.

Save The Children, who have already spent £400,000 on water, sanitation and hygiene and £300,000 on emergency protection, education and getting the kids back to some semblance of normal life in the wake of the earthquake, are using all the proceeds to continue their good work in Haiti. All you have to do is go shopping. The clothes will be priced at around a third of their original cost and we have it on good authority that the drop will include a SS09 3.1 Philip Lim dress which was originally £650 and is now £200! On your marks, get set…GO GO GO and tell your friends toooooo...

GOING TO EDINBURGH.....

Posted by the Fashion Editor at Large from a high speed train going very fast to Scotland
















Never travelled first class on a train before, but I am to Edinburgh right now. It definitely beats flying up as you can work, blog!!! wi-fi at 125mph, talk, eat and relax on the way. I'm launching a charity shop with Grazia, Save The Children and Mary Portas in the morning. It's a follow-on from the Westfield one we did in the summer. Doing it felt like a most worthwhile thing. So I'm back for more. Got to give back. Anyone in Edinburgh reading this should come down tomorrow (Dec 1) from 10am - we've got donations from Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Holly Fulton, Graeme Black and Pringle (and more) for goodness sakes! The charity sector and Scotland hasn't seen anything like it. "Mary's Living and Giving Shop" is at 34 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge, Edinburgh. Will post pictures by phone in the morning (another new technique I am attempting to master).
Ooh la la.
