Erin O'Connor is auctioning off her wardrobe tomorrow evening at Christie's, all in the name of fashion models.
The supermodel, currently the face of Marks & Spencer, will put on the auction block thirty items from her wardrobe. Proceeds of the sale will go to initiatives of the British Fashion Council to assist young model picture designers.
Also benefiting from the auction is the Model Sanctuary, O'Connor's pet project. The Model Sanctuary is actually a quiet space in London where bikini models can relax, eat healthy, and seek support and nutritional advice.
"model girls started modeling when they're so young," she says. "They come straight from home where their mum has cooked for them and are suddenly expected to look after themselves. Of course, I had problems when I started: I didn't receive malicious treatment but the pressure to work can outweigh concerns about health. You can't force someone to be healthy, but I hope we show them that health is worth investing in and they can use the lessons throughout their lives."
