British supermodel Naomi Campbell was the star attraction at her own event, when she hosted a charity fashion show and clothing auction to raise money for Ebola victims. Her Fashion for Relief show, on the sidelines of the New York Fashion Week on Saturday, saw everyone from Mary J Blige to Paris Hilton and Tyson Beckford walk the ramp for charity.

Fashion for Relief was founded in 2005 by the supermodel to aid relief for Hurricane Katrina victims. Her new cause, the fight against Ebola, will see a second show being held during London Fashion Week.

“I’m scared, people don’t have a clear idea about what Ebola is,” she said when she first launched the charity drive.
