Own a piece of Victoria Beckham from her charity sale on THEOUTNET.COM
Victoria Beckham has pledged to sell more than 600 items of her clothing on THEOUTNET.COM in aid of the charity, mother2mothers.
The charity trains, employs and empowers Mentor Mothers, who are mothers living with HIV, in order to educate them on how to prevent the transmission of HIV from mothers to babies and improve the health of women and their families. Auction house Christie’s also had a hand in valuing the items which will go on sale from Aug 20.
Philanthropy and Fashion
In February, Victoria went to South Africa following an invitation from Anna Wintour and American Vogue where she met mother2mothers (m2m) founder Dr Mitch Besser. She was moved by the experience, she decided to raise money and awareness.
‘After spending just a few days with these remarkable women and learning more about the charity from Mitch, and his lovely wife Annie Lennox, I wanted to do as much as I could. It really was a life-changing experience; I’ve never experienced anything like it,’ said Victoria.
With help from her mother and sister, Victoria carefully selected iconic pieces from herwardrobe – pieces from her early days with the Spice Girls, that she wore out with David Beckham, and from catwalk appearances, parties, awards shows and other events.
