Shelly's personal experiences with FFCD and her general outlook on the NPO...
"I have been involved with two of the Fashion For Charity Durban shows. Both being incredible experiences! It's been amazing to work with other designers and models whom had volunteered to help raise money for a charity. Seeing the end results of the money raised being handed over to the charity, and knowing you were a part of that, is such a great feeling!
Looking at the organisation at a whole, I think it's a brilliant concept. Usually raising money for a charity can be difficult, but by combining a fashion show with other forms of entertainment, it definitely brings the charity into the spot light!
With the success of the past Fashion For Charity shows, I can say that I'm definitely looking forward to the next one, and especially with being an ambassador, which is a great honour!"
