Kate Moss and Erin O'Connor design charity Christmas clothes
Five top models including Kate Moss, Erin O'connor and Poppy Delevingne have teamed up with fashion designers to produce Christmas sweaters for charity.
The garments, which will go on sale in aid of international charity Save the Children, have been created by each of the models in partnership with an individual designer.
For the project, Kate teamed up with Bella Freud, Dree Hemingway
went with Henry Holland, Poppy joined Christopher Kane, Erin linked
with Giles Deacon, and Karen Elson partnered Charlotte Dellal.
Kate lived up to her rock chick reputation by creating a jumper
with Freud emblazoned with the title of The Pogues' 1988 Christmas
classic Fairytale of New York.
"I was trying to think of a good word or phrase to put on a
Christmas jumper. But that made my mind go blank," Bella tells
Britain's Stella magazine, "And Kate said, 'What about Fairytale of
New York?' And that was instantly it. It's such a poetic title,
it's romantic - and then there's Shane McGowan, who is a great
friend of ours. It was typical of Kate to come up with the most
brilliant phrase."
Erin, who is an ambassador for the charity, revealed that her trips
to see impoverished children around the world had motivated her to
get involved in helping produce her design.
"Each trip I've made as a Save the Children ambassador has had a
forceful impact; it stays with you forever," Erin said, "That's why
by doing something like this, we share the message so that
everybody who sees it can help."
The sweaters, which cost $584 from online retailer
Matchesfashion.com, are available from 4 November (15).
