When Vestries Collective co-founder and president, Fanny Moizant, reached out to friends of the pre-loved fashion platform for help to launch a Covid-19 charity initiative, she was overwhelmed by the response. What began as virtual discussions on the importance of community in times of crisis turned into a mammoth archive sale, as influential figures dug deep into their wardrobes for a good cause. All proceeds, including Vestries Collective’s commission, will go to nonprofit organizations working to fight corona virus, including the World Health Organization, the Italian Lombardi a Region Fundraising, the France/Paris Hospitals Foundation and Madrid’s La Paz Hospital.

Now for the inventory. Kate Moss, Rachel Weisz and Thandie Newton are among the headline acts who have donated. While Newton’s Jimmy Choo collection is quite something, Bailey’s delectable dresses, including a ditsy Prada number, will surely get people clicking. The item that will spark a bidding war, however, is Moss’s vintage faux fur leopard print jacket. “Her fashion influence goes without saying!” Moizant enthuses of the star lot. “She has such a recognizable style and this jacket epitomizes that.”

Moizant is personally taken by a rare antique pink Christian Dior dressing gown that Margherita Missoni gave to Vestries Collective. “It’s such a beautifully unique piece,” she muses, apparently tempted to join the bidding herself. “Loungewear is proving to be popular with everyone spending more time at home.”

Having her call-out met with such overwhelming support has been inspiring for Moizant. “It’s great to see so many parts of the fashion industry act in such a resourceful way to support the effort,” she says. “I’m really happy that we can use our platform and community to play a part.”
