In Victor Meldrews words “I don’t believe it.” So what’s got us moaning like an old man from One Foot in the Grave? News that Diane von Furstenberg has just released an album to raise money for charity.

We’ve heard of models and actresses turning to the microphone but this one has got to be a first. However, before you get too excited at hearing the designers singing talents (if they’re as good as her designs we’re in for a treat) we have to point out that she actually sung. The album is a compilation of songs by her favourite female artists, including Estelle and Annie Lennox, to mark next week’s International Women’s Day.

‘Proud To Be Woman’ is available to buy from itunes and money raised will be donated to Vital Voices, a charity that champions women’s rights across the globe. We think this is a unique idea and we’re all up for helping charity but we think it may have been better for the designer to do what she does best. We’d definitely buy a charity t-shirt, dress or jumper if she designed one.
