Debut A Celebration of British Fashion: Vintage Lots Auctioned for Cancer Research UK

Just in case you missed the tweets... last night Ms Ooh La La was lucky enough to be invited to Henry Holland's launch of Debut for Cancer Research UK.  Held in one of London's oldest and most historic venues, the prestigious One Mayfair, the main event is being held tomorrow night, 24th March.  In what will be his premiere event for the charity, Henry Holland has teamed up with some of the UK's most heritage fashion designers, models, photgraphers and enthusiasts to celebrate british fashion, and its all for a very important cause.  Having being closely affected by the disease, his mother thankfully recovered from breast cancer last year, and one of his best friend's works for the charity, Henry has been a long term supporter of Cancer Research.  By hosting tomorrow night's glamourous soiree, he spoke of using his fashion credentials to produce what he hopes will be a unique event to raise awareness and more importantly donations for the cause.  Celebrity fashionistas such as Mary Quant, Paul Smith, Nicholas Kirkwood and Kate Moss have all generously donated items to his evening's main attraction - a silent auction, plus they'll be DJs, fine dining and cocktails alongside. 

Following a sneaky peek at the lots last night, we wanted to show you our two favourite picks of the amazing vintage lots that guests will be able to bid on, these were limited edition Twiggy and Sid Vicious prints:


Full details on the Debut event can be found at DebutBefore signing off I must mention, the extra treat at the launch.... Ms Ooh La La was super spoilt by having a chance to rifle through a wonderful pop up Cancer Research shop, where she bought an amazing vintage Chanel silk shirt.  (Check out pictures on last night's Twitter!).  On hand at the temporary store was the fabulous Damian John who normally manages the Islington Cancer Research store, and he gave us a great scoop on the fanastic vintage themed Cancer Research shop in West London, so do check it out at 392 Chiswick High Road.  We can't wait to pop along!
