The Prize

This auction is for a pair of cork platform heels worn and autographed by Vivienne Westwood.

Dame Vivienne Westwood's popularity knows no bounds. Original and outrageous, the iconic British designer is one of the most recognised and influential designers of the late twentieth century. Her punk attitude is more alive now than in the movement's Seventies heyday and her outspoken, Union Jack waving Englishness is undiminished. Cutting edge but classic, her collections are unflinchingly rooted in her interests and beliefs.

Vivienne is one of Small Steps Project's longest standing supporters.

This year, she has donated a pair of size EUR 37 beige cork platform heels made from 'towel' looking fabric by Vivienne Westwood. They are signed on the heel.

Vivienne Westwood has personally donated these shoes in support of Small Steps Project.

Conditions: The auction winner will be notified by email and will receive the item within 28 working days of payment being received. For any further questions, please e-mail enquiries@charitystars.com or call us at +44 203 301 5800.

The Cause

Small Steps Project is a children’s charity dealing with the most devastating humanitarian consequence of the global waste problem: child waste pickers.

All over the world thousands of children survive by collecting and recycling rubbish on landfill sites. Deprived of an education, they work when they should be at school and put their lives at risk on a daily basis. Work on the dumps is dirty and dangerous. As well as respiratory and skin diseases, cuts and lacerations to their hands and feet are commonplace and risk of infection is extremely high in the toxic environment.

Small Steps Project provides shoes to protect their feet and support to enable them to take small steps off the dump sites, out of poverty and into education.

To date, Small Steps Project has provided shoes and aid to over 20,000 children thanks to the money raised from shoes, all donated and signed by some of the most famous celebrities in the world.
