Naomi Campbell Raises Funds for Mumbai Terrorism Victims
As part of Lakme Fashion Week, supermodel Naomi Campbell appeared in a special “Mai Mumbai” charity show. The 39-year-old British model walked the catwalk to raise money for Mumbai’s emergency medical services.
Last November Islamic gunmen terrorized the city for three-days, killing 166 people. Attacks focused on some of the city’s most famous landmarks as well as several of Mumbai’s 5 star hotels. The Mumbai court is expected to decide on Monday whether to appoint a state legal aid lawyer for Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only terrorist captured during the attacks. As a foreigner, Kasab may not be entitled to state-sponsored representation.
“Mai Mumbai” was organized by Campbell and Vikram Chatwal, an Indian hotelier. Funds raised will go to Citizens for Justice and Peace as well as ongoing relief programs from victims of the November attacks.
The show featured Indian-inspired fashion by Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, Diane von Furstenberg, and Carolina Herrera. The designs will be sold in a silent auction and via eBay.
Campbell’s charity, “Fashion for Relief,” was founded in 2005 to organize the fashion community to raise money for victims of natural disasters and other tragedies around the world.
