‘Charity begins at home’ seems to be the idea behind the decision of top UK celebrities like actress Rachel Weisz and author-cum-fashion model Sophie Dahl to donate their favourite wardrobe pieces for an ongoing online auction on the popular pre-owned, high-end designer wear web platform VestiaireCollective.com.
 
The ongoing auction, to run till December 31, 2012, will put up a single clothing item of these celebrities for sale everyday and the proceeds from it will go directly to Dress For Success, a non-profit international charity organisation that helps women with low incomes to find employment by providing proper interview attire and training in order to restore confidence in them.
 
Apart from Rachel’s vintage black velvet jacket and Sophie’s tailored trousers as well as Alberta Ferretti blue wrap dress, other auction items of the website include stylist Bay Garnett’s Joseph leopard fur wrap, designer Jasmine Guinness’ vintage leopard-print jacket and TV presenter Davina McCall’s custom-made leather jacket designed by Michelle Banarse.
 
Founded in 2009, VestiaireCollective.com serves as a novel platform for buying and selling previously owned fashion treasures.
