Fashion fans queued for hours to get their hands on what must be some of the poshest cast-off clothes in the world after Victoria Beckham donated some of her daughter Harper's designer outfits to charity.

 

Glasgow Times:

Shoppers lined up outside Mary's Living & Giving shop for Save the Children in Primrose Hill, north London, four hours before it opened at 10am in a bid to get their hands on one of the 25 outfits picked out by Beckham.

The Spice Girl-turned-designer has picked out 25 individual outfits from fashion labels including Chloe, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartnery and Gucci.

Glasgow Times:

The first one was snapped up in five minutes with thousands of pounds already raised while TV presenter Mary Portas was on hand to help shoppers.

Beckham said: "I am delighted to be supporting the wonderful work of Save the Children through the Fashion Saves Lives Sale. As a mother, I passionately believe that all children, wherever they live, have the right to a happy, healthy life. Everyone out there can do their part by purchasing or donating, ensuring children all around the world have the opportunity of a brighter future."

All the money raised will go towards Save the Children's work to end child deaths from preventable causes by 2030.

Glasgow Times:

Currently 17,000 children die every day from preventable causes such as pneumonia and malaria due to a lack of adequate health services. Save the Children is backing a campaign to ensure world leaders commit to ensuring that by 2030, every child has basic healthcare they need to survive.

Fronted by Save the Children ambassadors Portas and Erin O'Connor, a Fashion Saves Lives sale will take place on internet auction site eBay from today to June 28.
