Knowing how it really works and how “personal” are the personal designs of celeb-turned-designers, what exactly does it mean that Kate Moss personally designed a t-shirt? Giving her signature on a predesigned theme?
All the profits from the Kate Moss Starlight T-Shirt go to the Starlight Children’s Foundation that just celebrated the 21st birthday this week: “Starlight offers a lot of hope to a lot of children at a difficult time in their life. I was really happy to help.” Does a charity involve you more when a celebrity is already in?

Kate did it again, she only put her signature on an already designed piece of clothes, in this case a T-shirt. But I forgive her, because the profits are going to an charity. Oh and about your question if it involves me more if a celeb is involved with it. NO, if you give money or whatever to a charity foundation, you have to give it from your heart and not because of whatever celeb. That can mean that you’re only support the charity because of a celeb and don’t care about what the charity is standing for.
I wish more people believed in the true cause behind charity. Lately I just have the impression good causes are fading when so many celebrities storm the Red Carpet or the media talking about their “involvement” in humanitarian projects just because it’s fashionable to do so. Just like celebrity going fashion designer. More and more I see a true cause diluted into high marketing.
