If there’s one thing I can’t resist it’s a charity and fashion industry collaboration. This year Children In Need are giving their cuddly mascot Pudsey a swish makeover. They’ve asked some of the best designers from around the world to give Pudsey a brand new look, ready to be auctioned off on the 15th November with all the proceeds going to charity. The designers involved range from the iconic names of Versace and Gucci to the pure British of McQueen and Burberry. There’s even a set of five pretty patterned Balenciaga bears.
The bears will only be on display in the London and Manchester Selfridges stores until tomorrow [14th November] but you can view the full gallery here on the Vogue website. The bears themselves are one of a kind but the store will be selling a limited edition bear, again with proceeds going to charity.
Keep on wishing…
