As our regular readers know by now, we love a good charity story over here at ShinyStyle. So you can imagine how excited we are to hear about a collaboration between our fave highstreet store Topshop and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The highstreet store and charity are launching a limited edition jersey vest to raise funds for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer in 2010.

The top with the motif "Love to Love" in both black and white will retail at £16, with £5 going to the charity.

The vest hits stores on 29th March, with that, and Stella McCartney's new range for Gap Kids launching on the same day we'll be begging our bank for a new overdraft.

Kate Moss Sport relief.jpg


This Friday Sport Relief will be hitting our BBC TV screens (get the tissues ready), and we can expect to see a range of celebrities doing, well, sporty things, in a bid to raise money to save children from Malaria in developing countries.

However, if you're Kate Moss, and sports aren't your thing then what else can you do to help the cause? Model of course.

The supermodel has teamed up with William Tempest who has designed a dress made from recycled mosquito nets, which Kate will model in a bid to get it auctioned off.

Kate said: "I was shocked to hear that one child dies from malaria every 30 seconds.

"The dress incorporates recycled malaria nets and is absolutely gorgeous, I loved wearing it and it's a great way to raise awareness."

If you want to help this worthy cause but don't fancy bidding on the frock, then watch the show on Friday and call in to make donations. Just £5 can help save a child's life.

It was a case of who could look the most disheveled at last night's MAC Viva Glam product launch to benefit the MAC AIDS Fund in London.

Lady Gaga, who fronted the campaign alongside Cyndi Lauper, as always stole the style show, appearing in a black lace leotard with sharp shoulders. She finished the look with lace stockings, which she wore over the bodysuit as well as a mamouth PVC style hat in the shape of a flower and her trademark eye mask.

However, after her appearance it seems the style took a turn for the worse. Cyndi Lauper turned up with a perm more fit for the 80s, making her look more like a poodle than a celebrity, while usually flawless Agyness Deyn looked more John Lenon than model with her blue sunglasses.

Sharon Osbourne however, hasn't really given us any cause for comment as she seemingly left her coat on all night.

Naomi Campbell will be making a special appearance at Westfield London tomorrow where she will host a pop up shop in aid for her Fashion For Relief cause.

The supermodel will be lending a hand in selling the official Fashion for Relief T-shirt designed by Vivienne Westwood, which were unveiled last week at her LFW charity show and worn on the catwalk by a host of celebrities including Dame Shirley Bassey and Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh from Girls Aloud.

Funds raised from the sales of the T-shirt, which retails at £40, will go to The White Ribbon Alliance to support the health needs and rights of women and girls around the world, with particular focus on its partners in Haiti , who at this time are helping to rebuild the healthcare system for mothers and babies.

Naomi has personally signed 10 T-Shirts, which will be available for £70, at the pop-up shop, which runs until Sunday 28th February.

The supermodel said: "I am delighted that Westfield London has partnered with myself and the White Ribbon Alliance to support this years Fashion for Relief in London . I am very grateful to Vivienne Westwood and her team for their dedication to this project whilst they themselves were in the midst of preparing for their own fashion week show. The Fashion for Relief Pop Up Shop at Westfield London has been such a huge success and I'm looking forward to my visit to Westfield tomorrow to personally help out.

"Purchasing a limited edition Westwood Fashion for Relief T-shirt is a great way for everyone to get involved in raising funds to help mothers and babies in Haiti who are most vulnerable after the recent disaster."

However if you can't make it down to the shopping centre you can still get your hands on one of these must have t-shirts by logging on to www.naomicampbell.com.

We've been very preoccupied with London Fashion Week and the numerous awards events that have been taking places over the past week. However as things begin to quiten down we thought it was time to start giving you some product news and what beeter way to start than with this charity collaboration.

Brit fashion mavericks Red or Dead, have teamed up with Cancer Research UK to create this covetable canvas shopper, available nationwide from late March '10.

Red or Dead have donated their brand spanking new print, aptly amed 'Swing On A chandelier', which features busty showgirls in the swing of things.

The result? A fashion-tastic, guilt-free purchase, allowing you to indulge your shopping habit whilst supporting a worthwhile cause.

The cute bag can be bought from Cancer Research UK stores nationwide, and also online. It costs £3.99.

A few weeks ago we gave you a sneak preview of Love Magazine's new covers featuring a range of supermodels including Lara Stone and Natalia Vodianova in the buff.

And if you loved them as much as we did then you'll be pleased to hear the pictures aren't going to disappear anytime soon, instead they'll be making a far more public appearance.

Gap has created seven styles of grey cotton T-shirt, each bearing a cover from spring/summer 2010's Fashion Icons issue in aid of the DEC Haiti Earthquake Appeal.

Profits from the £30 t-shirts featuring the full set up of Naomi Campbell, Jeneil Williams, Kristen McMenamy and Daria Werbowy, will see the full on-sale price go towards the DEC Appeal.

However Kate Moss has asked that all profits from T-shirts featuring her image go to a UK children's charity.

Naomi Campbell walks the runway at Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief Haiti NYC 2010 Fashion Show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion in New York

Designers and celebrities including Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg, Georgina Chapman, Estelle, Kelly Osbourne, Margherita and Missoni leant their names to The Fashion for Relief show last Friday.

Hosted by Naomi Campbell the catwalk show was designed to help the people of earthquake-ravaged Haiti. The supermodel also took to the catwalk in a short, black, sequined flapper dress with sky scraper heels.

However, it wasn't "alright on the night" for model du jour Agyness Deyn, who took a leaf out of Naomi's previous book and took a tumble - twice - in her Burberry sandals, before winning our hearts by strutting back, barefoot

She tweeted afterward: "1st show of fashion week! Took a tumble! Got up! Fell again. Should have stayed down the 1st time. Twice! WTF! Ouch my knees!"

There also came a very special and tearful tribute for Alexander McQueen, which included model and Daphne Guinness walking down the catwalk in a glittery, full-length bodysuit from the late designer's spring collection. Other models including Helena Christensen, Georgina Chapman and Naomi herself followed wearing designer Alexander McQueen from head to toe in tribute.

Mary J Blige charity.jpg

It's definitely a month for celebrity and charity collaborations and next on the bandwagon is soul singer Mary J Blige.

The singer has teamed up with designer friend Catherine Malandrino to launch a T-shirt collection called FFAWN + Catherine Malandrino.

According to WWD, the collection features tunics with hand-painted messages such as "I'm Free" and "I'm Power." and a percentage of all sales will benefit FFAWN, the Foundation for the Achievement of Women Now charity set up by Ms J Blige started 2008.

Mary told WWD: "Catherine has been a dear friend of mine for years and, after she learned about FFAWN and our mission, she offered to create a T-shirt collection that would celebrate being women, being strong and being free. These are not your average T-shirts."

Lady G and Cindy for Mac.jpg

Yesterday we reported Lady Gaga was selling off some of her stage costumes to help raise funds for the victims of the Haiti earthquake, and it seems her goodwill doesn't stop there.

The singer and equally wacky songstress Cyndi Lauper will both front a range of new lipsticks for M.A.C. All sales of this collection will go to the M.A.C AIDS Fund, which helps those with the illness and HIV virus in Africa.

Miss G has also taken it upon herself to give women sex advice and encourage them to use contraception.

She told WWD: "When the guy that she's seeing says, 'Baby, it doesn't feel good when I wear that,' or 'Baby, it's just you,' you say, 'F--k you, I'm out of here.'"

"Buying condoms is seen as a male accessory. We were joking that we wish the lipstick had on the side, 'Where's my best friend, the condom? Come out with me tonight.'

More than just pretty face, hey Miss G? We wonder if she'll incorporate her wise words into her song lyrics too.

Lady Gaga auction.jpg

While a range of celebrities are designing clothes and accessories to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake, Lady Gaga has decided to spin things around.

The singer, known for her range of outrageous outfits has decided to give a few lucky people the chance to win some of her clothing.

She's auctioning off some of her stage costumes, including a jewelled skeleton bodysuit, from her Monster Ball tour on online auction site CharityBuzz and all profits will go to helping victims of the Haiti earthquake.

The auction closes in two weeks. Good luck.

Dunhill kisses.jpg

There's so many charity and fashion collaborations this year, that we're struggling to keep up. Not that we're complaining, they're all for good causes.

However, instead of the the number of designers who have asked celebrities to create clothing and accessories, Dunhill is just asking for famous ladies lips.

The Heritage brand will be hosting a charity auction in aid of The Prostate Cancer Charity this Valentine's Day and has asked female celebs including Jerry Hall, Louise Redknapp, Gillian Anderson and Emilia Fox, to all plant a kiss on a Dunhill collar to support the cause.

It hopes these kisses will lead to the shirts being sold off at high auction prices when they are listed on Ebay, and all proceeds will be donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity.

In addition to the shirt bearing the mark of a celebrity kiss and autograph, each auction winner will also get a voucher for a Dunhill custom made tailored shirt, to be redeemed at Bourdon House. We think this would make an excellent present for your other half.

We heart Converse's RED RED LOVE collection

Converse One.jpg

Wear your heart on your feet and step into Valentines day in creative style with Converse's new collection. The retro footwear designer has launched RED RED LOVE, which includes a range of heart adorned trainers sporting a "I heart ........." logo.

The idea is you fill in the blank with whatever it is you love with a waterproof fabric pen.
And if you think that sounds good then you'll be even more pleased to hear that proceeds from this creative range go to fight AIDS in Africa.

We think we may have to buy more than one of these pairs as we just can't decide what it is we love the most (yes, we know, any excuse).

We're going down the charity and ethical fashion route today and next on our list of companies doing good deeds is Asos.

The online shop has launched Asos Africa, a clothing and accessories collection that has been designed, sourced and produced by community groups in Africa.

The range has some gorgeous pieces of clothing including funky jumpsuits and blazers all crafted using traditional African techniques.

And if that wasn't enough to get you rushing to your PC, all the workers are also given training and fair pay.

Get FLOWE(RED) this Valentines day

Cat Deeley Launches Red Charity Online Flower Service

We know we're more fashion than flowers, but with Valentines day approaching we thought we'd make a little exception, especially as it's for a good cause.

Cat Deeley has launched FLOWE(RED)™, a new online flower service, which gives all the profits from each bouquet sold to helping provide medication and treatment for those living with HIV in Africa.

Although many of you may be angling for a new bag or shoes, we think receiving a gorgeous bunch of flowers that will, in theory, continue to spread the love well after they've died is more than enough of a reason to drop floral hints to your other half.

Prices range from £20-£65.

Dita and Moschino.jpg

Another famous figure has put their designing hat on for charity and this time it's Dita Von Teese. The burlesque dancer has teamed up with Moschino to create a luxurious eye mask with 30% of the proceeds from each one going to amfAR, a charity that funds AIDS Research.

The handy sleeping accessory is made out of silk-satin with a spotted lack overlay and pictures of eyelashes we can only dream about as well as the words 'Dita for Moschino' in rhinestones.

We think its a perfect way to look good while you're sleeping, and a great way to shut out any light or disturbances. We just wish someone would think about creating some designer earplugs to match.

Buy the mask exclusively from Moschino now for £100.
