British supermodel Kate Moss wore a dress woven from recycled mosquito nets. The 36-year-old wore the strapless outfit designed by William Tempest to support Sport Relief 2010 and its commitment to tackling malaria.
The insecticide-treated mosquito net is one of the easiest and most cost-effective methods of preventing the spread of malaria.
Taking time out to promote the cause, Kate said: 'I was shocked to hear that one child dies from malaria in Africa every 30 seconds, that’s why I was happy to be involved in this important project for Sport Relief.
'William Tempest’s dress, which incorporates recycled malaria nets is absolutely gorgeous, I loved wearing it and working with William.
'It’s a great way of raising awareness of the seriousness of malaria, a disease which is both preventable and treatable. Donating just £5 can pay for a net which helps protect from potentially fatal mosquito bites that spread malaria.'
William Tempest added: 'I’m really proud and excited to have designed a dress for Sport Relief with the serious message of highlighting the power of the humble mosquito net as a lifesaving tool against malaria.
'To help raise awareness about malaria I designed a structured dress which incorporates layers of a malaria net in panels. Kate looks amazing in the dress and I hope its auction will raise lots of money and bring awareness to such a great cause.'
