BRYANT PARK — Naomi Campbell is calling in favors for the sake of fashion and the earthquake-ravaged country of Haiti.
Campbell is staging a celebrity-filled Fashion For Relief runway show and auction to benefit Haiti as part of fashion week next week.
“I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Haiti,” said Campbell. “Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone. Our aim is to use this season’s catwalk shows in New York to reach people and help raise crucial funds to help save the lives of women and children.”
The charity show will be hosted by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and styled by Rachel Zoe. Christy Turlington will reportedly model in the event.
It takes place in The Tent at Bryant Park on Feb. 12 with the prime time slot and location handed over by Manhattan-based Charlotte Ronson.
All donated garments — including a Marc Jacobs-designed Louis Vuitton purse — will be auctioned off online at NET-A-PORTER starting Feb. 15.
Ronson’s show will take place the same night but at The Promenade instead.
“It’s an important cause and we wanted to do everything we could to make it happen.” Ronson’s publicist, Matt Kays, told DNAinfo.
"Sex and The City" stylist Orlando Pita is also doing hair for the show with jewelry provided by Chopard.
Fashion For Relief was first held in 2005, raising more than $1 million for Hurricane Katrina relief.
The forthcoming show benefits CARE to raise funds towards rebuilding Haiti’s health care system.
Past participants include Beyonce, Claudia Schiffer and Sean Combs, better known as "P. Diddy."
Tickets go on sale Friday on Ticketmaster.com.
