One Direction has joined Tinie Tempah, Mollie King, Rachel Stevens and some of fashion’s biggest names including, David Gandy, Dolce & Gabbana, Claudia Schiffer and Victoria Beckham to help fundraise for Red Nose Day in a fashion extravaganza on eBay.
The auction, which is live now until March 17 is part of the “Blue Steel Appeal”; a series of events and initiatives to help raise money for Comic Relief through fashion led by supermodel, David Gandy.
One Direction have donated the clothes they wore for their BRIT Awards performance of the official Red Nose Day single, ‘One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)’, to Comic Relief to sell on eBay.
Fans will also have the opportunity to bid for a place in an exclusive suite at the O2 to watch their concert on the 2nd April. There are 18 seats available which will be sold as three separate lots of 6 seats each. Food and refreshments will be provided in the box, paid for by the band, and each lot will also come with a Red Nose Day t-shirt signed by all 5 band members and worn by one of them.
Finally, bidders will also have the chance to get their hands on a brand new iPad and iPad cover signed by the band in a separate lot on eBay. Fans can support Red Nose Day by bidding now at www.ebay.co.uk/rednoseday and 100% of the final sale price will go to Comic Relief.
Iconic fashion brands and individuals have shown their support, offering some rare and unique money-can’t-buy prizes and experiences, bringing high fashion right to your doorstep. eBay sellers are also encouraged to join in the fun by donating any proceeds from their own fashion sales to Comic Relief.
