After you have given away few pairs of shoes away, you may want to check out this footwear-charity collaboration.
While Abby is considering forgoing her Havaianas to save her feet, some big names in fashion have created their own versions of the summertime staple.
The sandals are to be auctioned off to benefit charity CLIC Sargent, a charity giving money to young people who have cancer, and their families.
Naomi Campbell, Manolo Blahnik, Matthew Williamson, and Lulu Guinnness (pictured) are just a few of the people adding their special touches (or in Naomi’s case, heels) to these flip flops.
Havaianas is no stranger to a collaboration. In 2004 the company partnered with H.Stern to create a diamond encrusted pair. And while we love diamonds, we love Issa’s polka-dotted pair more!
The shoes are hitting Selfridges window displays on June 15, and will be available for auction on June 26, but for now you can check them out online.
Is it sad that we are checking the cost of flights to London right now so we can check them out in person?

while some ppl involved were obviously slacking, i think Lulu and Basso & Brooke are my faves, although Alek Weck’s are adorable too. In all fairness Naomi did the most elaborate job.
that being said…has Manolo lost his friggin mind?
Love this article and want to link to. When I click “link to,” nothing pops up? Quo Vadis? Please advise, Ann Seymour
Melissa: save your airline money & use it towards shoes (& keep the planet green) – we live in London & I’ll go & bid for you! Seriously.
Just saw this posting, love Havaianas (been wearing them for years) & would be happy to pop over. We could do it like at auctions in films, by cell phone. I’ve got a good international rate.
