With the unique dress being made partly from recycled mosquito nets, to highlight Sport Relief’s commitment to tackling malaria, this is one ettical design that will hopefully raise a lot of money for a great cause! Both the supermodel and the designer are urging the UK public to get involved and raise money for Sport Relief which could be spent on a life saving fabric you won’t see on the catwalk – long-lasting, insecticide-treated mosquito nets, one of the easiest and most cost-effective methods of preventing the spread of malaria.
The dress has been sculptured and corseted in William Tempest’s signature style with individual panels sewn together for a mosaic effect inspired by architecture set against the skyline - shimmering in the sun.
Of her involvement Moss said: “I was shocked to hear that one child dies from malaria in Africa every 30 seconds, that’s why I was happy to be involved in this important project for Sport Relief. William Tempest’s dress, which incorporates recycled malaria nets is absolutely gorgeous, I loved wearing it and working with William. It’s a great way of raising awareness of the seriousness of malaria, a disease which is both preventable and treatable. Donating just £5 can pay for a net which helps protect from potentially fatal mosquito bites that spread malaria.”
Tempest added: “I’m really proud and excited to have designed a dress for Sport Relief with the serious message of highlighting the power of the humble mosquito net as a lifesaving tool against malaria.To help raise awareness I designed a structured dress which incorporates layers of a malaria net in panels. Kate looks amazing in the dress and I hope its auction will raise lots of money and bring awareness to such a great cause."
