Victoria Beckham And Anna Wintour Join Forces To Raise Money For Hurricane Sandy Victims

Fashion queens Victoria Beckham and Anna Wintour have joined forces to help raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, with the Council of Fashion Designers and US Vogue teaming up.

Famous fashion figures will show their support for the victims of the tragic Hurricane Sandy which swept New York and left devastation behind, with the likes of Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour and fashion designer Victoria Beckham all showing face.

And whilst an array of prominent fashionistas in the industry have stepped up to pledge financial aid to support the relief effort, the CFDA and US Vogue publication have gone one step further by planning to host a special fundraising event.

The Trade Association, headed by fashion designer Diane von Furstenburg, has teamed up with luxury auction website Charitybuzz.com to help launch the collective fashion industry fundraiser Fashion for Sandy Relief.

The first goody up for auction is the chance to attend a top fashion show with Anna Wintour herself and her team of Vogue editors, as well as a tour of the famous magazine's offices and a luxury goody bag full of Vogue memorabilia.

Other experiences include a meet and greet with Victoria Beckham, a week at one of Tommy Hilfiger's private estates and lunch with Diane Von Fursteburg, lunch with Christian Louboutin and a free signed pair of his famous red-soled shoes.

And it's not all about fashion as other sporting, theatre and movie related experiences will be up for auction as well – with all money raised going towards the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City.
Speaking of the fashion fundraising event, Diane von Furstenburg stated: ''Sandy has hit us hard here at home,'' Maboot reports.

''It is devastating to see so many friends and neighbours affected. As we did for Haiti and Japan, our industry has come together to raise funds with Fashion for Sandy Relief,'' she added.
