    Christopher Raeburn is having a great year. Last night the designer - who is known for his parachute silk parkas - won the Emerging Talent Menswear award at the British Fashion Awards.

    "A very big thank you to absolutely everyone. I came through Estethica and from the first competition I won I have been amazed at the support I have had. Apologies for anyone I have forgotten but I'm obviously very nervous," said Raeburn in his acceptance speech.

  • Charitable Westwood

     

    Dame Vivienne Westwood is donating £1 million to combat climate change. The very charitable donation is the result of the designer's frustration from promised, but apparently as-yet-not-seen, money pledged by the government three years ago.

     

    "Governments...are so slow that we can't wait for them anymore. We have to get this moving and hope that they'll join in," she told The Times.

     

    The designer decided to donate the money upon learning that only a small amount of the £4.2 billion committed to the World Bank's Climate Investments Funds had actually been spent. Westwood has donated the money to Cool Earth, a charity which aims to raise £7 million to protect rainforests in Peru, the Congo Basin and Borneo.

     

    Westwood will work with the charity to highlight this lack of funding through the No Fun Being Extinct campaign - and call upon support from her fashionable friends in the process. Visit www.nofunbeingextinct.org for further information.
