Back in January when Rose asked me if I'd be interested in "y'know, helping with this show I'm putting on", I had no idea of the epic proportions that it would be destined to reach.
Proportions being: Chanel, Galliano, Valentino, Herve Leger, Max Azria, Temperley, Bill Blass, Vera Wang, Paul Smith, Nicole Farhi......all of which will be contributing red gowns to be showcased on June 18th at Oxford's town hall. The event is receiving a huge amount of industry from the likes of Vogue, Pete Townshend and Roger Moore.
What's more every penny raised by the event will be helping to support H.E.L.P and Teach A Man To Fish, NGOs providing care, protection and education for children affected by HIV/AIDS in developing countries. Oh, and after the show we will be handing over to HedKandi who will be taking over the after party....all in all it's set to be an incredible night.
Still not convinced? Check out these quotes:
"As a fan (and when I was 10 years old, a resident) of Oxford - and a witness to its impressive intellectual culture - I love the idea of bringing fashion and great scholarship together. And with such good causes being served, the Oxford Red Dress Couture Ball is shaping up to be a truly powerful night for fashion, for academia and for charity."
(Cindi Leive, Glamour US)
"We are so excited to be part of this special event and honoured to help such a worthy cause." (Lubov Azria, BCBGMAXAZRIA)
