We’ve covered many celebrity collaborations for charity, but this has got to be the best one yet.

Kylie Minogue, Claudia Schiffer and Sienna Miller have leant their faces to the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign.

The campaign, shot by Mario Testino, features Kylie who beat breast cancer four years ago, pregnant Claudia and Sienna sporting a silk sheet with the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer logo printed on it.

It forms part of the overall charity initiative, which will also see proceeds from clothing and accessories from River Island, My Wardrobe and M&S going to the charity.

Kylie said: “It means so much to me to be part of this year’s campaign for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. I wholeheartedly support their efforts to raise funds for the vital work undertaken by Breakthrough Breast Cancer.”

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.

It is being called a dark day in Hollywood after the deaths of icons Michael Jackson, 50, and Farrah Fawcett, 62. With a 50-concert tour scheduled, and an announcement just yesterday that he’ll be wearing Swarovski when he kicked off his “This is It” tour in London next month, Michael passed away yesterday afternoon. According to US reports, the King of Pop suffered a cardiac arrest at his home, and was taken to UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead by medical staff. Tributes have been flooding in from his celebrity friends all night.

Earlier yesterday morning, Farrah lost her long battle with cancer. The former Charlie’s Angels star, renowned for her flicky hair ‘do, passed away in Santa Monica surrounded by her family and friends, including Ryan O’Neal.

Gwyneth Paltrow is lending her name to support Saks Fifth Avenue’s 2008 Key for a Cure campaign. The actress models a T-shirt designed by Karl Lagerfeld, which features a sketch of the man himself, in advertising for the charity. The T-shirt will retail for $40 (at least $35 going to charity) to support the cancer awareness initiative, which has previously been backed by Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron, and Renee Zellweger. The T-shirts will hit the Saks website in October.
