NAOMI CAMPBELL AND LOTUS AUCTION 8 SPECIAL EDITION “NAOMI FOR
HAITI” LOTUS EVORA SPORTS CARS

The Auction begins at the star studded Fashion For Relief TM Charity
Show and Auction

Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief TM charity event is going to be
even bigger and better this year as the supermodel joins forces with
Lotus cars to auction off 8 special edition multi award winning Lotus
Evoras Sports Cars to help mothers and babies in Haiti.

The “Naomi for Haiti” Evoras will be auctioned at Naomi Campbell's
Fashion for Relief TM charity fashion show on the 18th of February at
the London Fashion Week venue at Somerset House. The remaining
“Naomi for Haiti” Evoras will be entered into an auction run on
the “Naomi for Haiti” website http://www.naomiforhaiti.com and bidding
will commence at 0800 GMT on the 19th of February and will end at
1200 noon GMT on 28th of February 2010.

The “Naomi for Haiti” Evora sports car has been specially designed
by Lotus Design Director Donato Coco and reflects Naomi’s design
direction. The bespoke styling combines the flag of Haiti with a
dramatic colour scheme and the cars include a full range of options,
meaning these cars will all become desirable collectors items.

Naomi Campbell says, "I am incredibly pleased to have teamed up with
my great friend Gino Rosato, Director of Corporate of Affairs at
Lotus for this important cause. He has a big a heart and also feels
very touched about the recent tragedy in Haiti - we spent a full day
brainstorming this project and we both want to help the mothers and
babies who are most vulnerable. The Lotus Evora auctions will be an
amazing chance to raise much needed money for the victims of the
earthquakes.”

Fashion For Relief TM will support the White Ribbon Alliance as it
campaigns for the health needs and rights of women and girls around
the world, especially supporting its partners in Haiti at this time
to rebuild the healthcare system for mothers and babies.

White Ribbon Alliance's partner organisation IPPF is currently
struggling to meet the overwhelming need for basic healthcare
services. IPPF’s clinics, which are based in the communities most
affected by the earthquake, have been severely damaged. A number of
health clinics are operating from tents, with additional mobile bus
clinics from the Dominican Republic into Haiti.

The grand total raised for the charity and the highest bidders will
be announced by Naomi Campbell at the Geneva Motorshow on the 2nd of
March. There will also be a link to the “Naomi for Haiti” website
from the Lotus Cars website http://www.grouplotus.com/cars/home.html.

Fashion For Relief™ 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 including Vivienne Westwood, Jaeger,
Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana.
