Naomi Campbell's Charity Under Scrutiny for False UNICEF Partnership Claims

UNICEF reports Fashion for Relief to the Charity Commission, revealing no funds were received and Campbell falsely posed as an envoy.

  • Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief claimed to be a fundraising partner of UNICEF during a 2019 event, but UNICEF denies any official partnership.
  • UNICEF filed a serious incident report with the U.K. Charity Commission in 2022, stating it received no proceeds from the event.
  • Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee for five years following an inquiry that found financial misconduct and mismanagement at Fashion for Relief.
  • Fashion for Relief was dissolved earlier this year after it was revealed that only a small portion of funds raised went to charitable causes.
  • UNICEF also questioned why Campbell was referred to as a UNICEF envoy during a 2018 meeting with then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, a title the charity says she never held.
