Which model founded the charity Fashion for Relief in 2005?

The story behind the answer

Naomi Campbell founded the charity Fashion for Relief in 2005.

Fashion for Relief organized fashion events that raised money for humanitarian causes. Campbell used the visibility and commercial reach of the fashion industry to bring designers, models, celebrities, and sponsors together for fundraising.

The organization became associated with responses to major disasters and international humanitarian needs. Its events illustrated how supermodels could use celebrity status beyond advertising and runway work, particularly during the 2000s when large public fundraising spectacles became increasingly common.

Fashion for Relief is sometimes confused with Every Mother Counts, the maternal-health organization founded by Christy Turlington. They are separate initiatives with different founders and missions. Campbell’s philanthropic work has also included support for Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Fund and other charitable causes.
