Unable to make the fashion show? Live bidding online has begun for auction items....

The Browns & Women for Women International Catwalk Show Auction is now Live Online:http://gavelandgrand.com/auctions/womenforwomen

This is your opportunity to bid from wherever you are on some of the incredible lots donated this year, including exquisite looks from Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and more, as well as money-can’t-buy experiences like the personal and private tour by Dinos Chapman of his studio, the Exclusive Luxury Weekend in NYC and the paid internship at Browns.

Hosted by Gavel &Grand, the new charity auction site created by leading online luxury auction house Paddle8, the Silent online auction will end at 9.30pm GMT on Tuesday 19 ^th November. Lots labelled as Live will transfer to the Live Auction on the night – our Auctioneer Simon de Pury will then take over, starting the Live Auction bidding at the highest online bid. Guests at the event will be treated to a special surprise live auction lot on the night.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with Philippa phalliday@womenforwomen.org, who is managing this fantastic event, if you would like any more details about the evening or this auction – good luck with your bids, and do feel free to post the link on your Twitter and Facebook – the more people bidding, the more money we will raise, and the more women survivors of war will be able to rebuild their lives.
