...You're Sure For a Big Surprise: The Designer Bears of Children In Need
So last night I arrived home to find Children In Need on the Television. Within two minutes of being home, the tears were streaming down my face as I watched numerous children tell their shocking stories.
On a cheerier note, the BBC Children In Need campaign have, so far, raised £27m for the cause, with the fashion world getting highly involved. 34 'Pudsey Bears' were created by world renowned designers and have been put up for auction to raise funds for the charity.
The star-studded 2012 line-up included: Burberry, Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Loewe, Sibling, Mulberry, Giles Deacon made with Swarovski Elements, Katie Hillier, Henry Holland, Louis Vuitton, Jonathan Saunders, Selfridges, Alexander McQueen, Smythson, Victoria Beckham, Prada, Donatella Versace, Missoni, Pucci, Gucci, Norton and Sons, Diane Von Furstenberg, Fendi, Balenciaga, Anya Hindmarch, Vogue, GQ, Kate Spade New York and Tom Ford.
Giles Deacon's collaboration with Swarvoski created a Pudsey Bear that contained £20,000 worth of crystals, and sold for £24,000. Meanwhile Louis Vuitton's 28" leather bear, designed by Marc Jacobs, sold for £20,000.
The designer Pudsey Bear collection has raised over £150,000 so far, but there are still a few bears that are available for auction. So if you have a spare £2,000+ to spend, use the following link: http://www.designerpudsey.co.uk/
If you can't afford that much, then you can have a wee look at the BBC Children In Need Shop: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bbc-children-in-need/_i.html?_fsub=2809422016
