Naomi Campbell hasn’t had an easy time over the past few months. She was thrust into the media spotlight a few months back when a New York driver accused her of hitting him and last week UN war crimes prosecutors in The Hague called for the British supermodel to testify over claims that she was given “blood diamonds” by Liberia’s former president Charles Taylor.

However, it seems she’s trying to redeem herself. Hot off her Fashion for Relief events, which aimed to raise money for victims of the Haiti earthquake, the model is jumping into another charity venture.

She’s teamed up with Moscow-based couture house Chapurin to create a line of T-shirts benefiting Neon, the not-for-profit organisation she founded in April.

According to WWD the model wants to raise at least $1 million for two Russian charities – the Iris Foundation and Northern Crow,which provide education, training and medicine for underprivileged children – and she thinks these designs will go someway to help do this.

Well it’s a very good start Naomi.
