Fashion for the Brave is a high profile fundraising fashion show and gala which will be held at The Dorchester on Thursday 20 September 2012.
Claudia Winkleman will host the event, and Jeffrey Archer will be lending his ‘talents’ to the prestigious auction – which last year included a limited edition Jaguar Land Rover.
Harold Tillman has generously agreed to come on board as a patron, joining patrons Sienna Miller, James Blunt and Ned Rocknroll.
Fashion for the Brave raises funds for the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund (HCOCF) www.operationalcasualtiesfund.co.uk/ and The British Forces Foundation (BFF) www.bff.org.uk. The HCOCF provides financial support to injured soldiers and their families, including those who have lost their lives on active service. BFF boosts the morale of servicemen and women on the frontline and in operational theatres all over the world, primarily through high quality entertainment.
Sponsored by The Dorchester, Vestra Wealth and Boodles, supported by the British Fashion Council, and organised by legendary fashion industry stalwarts and twitterati Hilary Alexander and Lesley Goring. The black tie gala will feature a catwalk show featuring the best of British brands and will be attended by British stars of fashion and film.
