We briefly spoke with Supermodel Sessilee Lopez backstage at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week during the “Fashion for Relief” show. She spoke candidly about the late Alexander McQueen and Haiti relief.

Lopez can currently be seen in new Spring/Summer 2010 ads for Le Monde d`Hermes. More images can be seen at Fashion Screen.

Naomi Campbell says, “I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Haiti. So many have been killed and severely affected by the earthquake – women and children in particular are most vulnerable in disasters. Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone. Our aim is to use this season’s catwalk shows in New York to reach people and help raise crucial funds to help save the lives of women and children.”

The runway show will take place at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on the evening of February 12^th at 7:00 PM; hosted by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and will feature internationally recognized designers, celebrities and VIPs. All the donated garments will be auctioned online at NET-A-PORTER starting February 15th. The donation is tax deductible and 100% of the event ticket sales will benefit CARE.

Fashion For Relief (which will be Styled by Rachel Zoe and produced by Kevin Krier) will bring together, on the catwalk, top international faces of fashion, music, film, TV, sports and society. The show will feature glamorous clothes by the world’s most renowned and respected fashion designers.
