Grapevine: Drivers to take part in fashion show
Formula One drivers and their wives and girlfriends are to take part in a charity raising fashion show at the Monaco Grand Prix to raise money for the Elton John Aids Foundation (EJAF)
The Amber Fashion event, to be hosted by Steve Rider and Bernie Ecclestone's daughter Tamara, will take place on the Friday night of the Monaco Grand Prix and will feature some of the world's finest male and female clothing and jewellery.
Launched that night too will be a new luxury menswear collection called FORM, designed by Petra Ecclestone.
As well as the fashion show there will be a charity auction - which includes such lots as a week on Force India team owner Vijay Mallya's yacht, the Indian Empress, and a piano used by Elton John to write and record some of his famous songs.
Sonia Irvine, Amber Fashion director, said: "It is an honour for Amber Fashion to be supporting the EJAF and we are very grateful for the personal attention David Furnish is giving this project.
"HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco has also kindly graced us with his presence for the past two years while F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and his family were additional honoured guests last year.
"We firmly believe that this year's event will be our best to date with Formula One drivers this time joining their wives and girlfriends on the catwalk."
