My friend, Laura Head, came up with the idea of raising funds for CHIVA Africa's Paediatric and Adolescent AIDS Programme in South Africa by giving a rocking horse (from renowned Stevenson Brother) to a celeb to decorate Stars Rocking. She managed to convince 14 celebs to decorate 12 rocking horses and they did the most amazing job and the auction raised a large amount of money for this wonderful charity.
- Celebrity decorated rocking horses:
- Dame Judi Dench - actress
- Joanne Lumley OBE - actress
- Maureen Lipman CBE - actress and comedienne
- Amanda Wakeley - luxury fashion designer
- Nicky Clarke OBE - hair stylist
- Kelly Hoppen MBE - interior designer
- Stephen Webster MBE - Jewellery designer
- Rozanne Bell - artist
- Kimberley Gundle - contemporary artist
- Julien Macdonald OBE - fashion designer
- Melissa Odabash - swimwear designer
- Kelly Simpkin - fashion designer
- Squint Ltd - bespoke furniture design company
- Nick Walker - street artist
I attended the auction on Thursday evening (14 Nov 2013) which was a fabulous occasion full of celebs. The horse that went for the highest amount was Dame Judi Dench's white Unicorn.
