Good cause: Naomi Campbell stunned at the launch of her Fashion For Relief Pop-Up Shop at Westfield shopping centre in London on Thursday evening
Naomi proudly showed off the fruits of her labour at the venue, posing alongside the racks of amazing clothes and accessories that she curated from her designer contacts, top brands and her famous friends' wardrobes.
Naomi has called upon the world’s influential designers, brands and celebrities to join her and donate items for purchase.
Designer products and accessories have been donated by Alexander McQueen, D&G and Givenchy and Jenny Packham, who has donated a gold sequinned worn by Dame Shirley Bassey.

Charitable: All proceeds from the designer wares on offer at the store go towards the DEC Ebola Crisis Appeal to help prevent the spread of the disease and provide relief for those affected by it

Her best friends Kate Moss and Stella McCartney have also donated clothes to the cause.

Naomi looked incredible in her two-tone dress with ruching around the bust and a pleated skirt.

She teamed the eye-catching look with a pair of studded knee-high boots.
The 44-year-old star is famed for her diva reputation, but she insists time has mellowed her.
She told the Evening Standard: 'I’ve softened a lot over the years.
'You can’t judge a book by its cover. You know my story. I don’t live in denial about it and that’s it.'

Everyone is welcome: Made In Chelsea star Rosie Fortescue and her former cast mate Chloe Green, whose father is Topshop boss Sir Philip Green, put in a stylish appearance at the patty
The star also revealed she thinks it's vital to be able to laugh at herself and doesn't take herself seriously.
Despite her unprecedented success - she's worked for every major fashion house - Naomi recently admitted that the industry, which is so often perceived as glamorous, can be really lonely.
Speaking to Look magazine, the supermodel said: 'No one tells you how lonely it can be. You're travelling alone constantly and it can play on your psyche.
'It's important to stay as strong as you can and to have good friends or family to lean on.'

Luckily for Naomi, she's been able to share the experience with her 'fashion family' - a starry host of models, designers and photographers, who have helped nurture her along the way.
'I definitely spent more time around them than around my own blood family as I was traveling and working so much… Azzedine [Alaïa] is more like a papa; Gianni [Versace] was more like a brother,' she told Net-a-Porter's The Edit.
As one of the 90’s supers, which also included Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, Campbell’s life has rocked and rolled between extremes but she is, above all, a survivor.
I don’t have to justify myself to anyone. I took off almost five years from work,' she said. 'But I’m a Gemini and I like to keep moving and doing things and being there for friends. If I go against my instincts, there is always a consequence.'

Party girls: Presenter Lizzie Cundy and musician Folami posed together at the launch party for the pop-up shop
And one special man has helped her along the way - and now she wants to help others. '[Nelson] Mandela always said to me: "Use yourself to help other people."
'I feel that now more strongly than ever before and I try to do that in the best way I can,' she said.
She is certainly doing just that, along with her latest charity endeavour, she has raised millions for causes including Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake.
Also in attendance at the launch party were rapper Tinie Tempah and Made In Chelsea star Rosie Fortescue.
One week only: The pop-up shop will only be open for seven days, but will be restocked every night
