American Express has partnered with Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief – Haiti NYC, 2010, a special runway event benefitting the victims of the recent Haiti earthquake to take place during New York Fashion Week.

“I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Haiti; so many have been killed and severely affected by the earthquake – women and children in particular are most vulnerable in disasters,” said Naomi Campbell. “Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone. Our aim is to use this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week catwalk to reach people and help raise crucial funds to help save the lives of women and children.”

Hosted by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, the star-studded Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief™ -Haiti NYC, 2010 event will feature actors, musicians and celebrities walking the runway in various looks created by some of fashion’s top designers and to be later auctioned online at NET-A-PORTER.

The once-in-a-lifetime event will feature the biggest names in fashion and entertainment and will be held in Bryant Park on Friday, February 12 at 7 PM.

Set up four years ago to demonstrate the kind of contributions the fashion community can make, the first Fashion For Relief show was held in 2005 in New York City during their fashion week, and raised more than $1million dollars for the Hurricane Katrina relief.

In 2007 the event, held in London, raised an amazing £1million for the Rotary Flood & Disaster Appeal.

In 2008, Naomi teamed up with Sarah Brown for the first time to host an unforgettable Fashion For Relief raising thousands for The White Ribbon Alliance and raising awareness of the charity.
