Bob Geldof, Sarah Brown, the wife of the Prime Minister, and retail boss Sir Philip Green were among the guests at the Fashion for Relief show at London"s Somerset House.

It was held in aid of the White Ribbon Alliance, which promotes safe pregnancy and childbirth around the world.

Funds raised at the show will go towards ensuring mothers and babies are at the heart of the Haiti"s new health system, organisers said.

Campbell said: ""I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has generously donated their time and effort to make Fashion for Relief happen.""

Mrs Brown, who is patron of the White Ribbon Alliance, said: ""It"s a privilege to be back here again at Fashion for Relief such a powerful cause.

""British people have been exceptionally generous in response to those affected by the Haiti earthquake disaster, raising £77m so far and playing their part."
