Philanthropist fashion models
Who doesn’t know philanthropist fashion model Gisele Bündchen? She has been world’s best-paid model for years and she now uses the fame she earned thanks to her natural beauty to do something back for nature. Where to start/ this multi-talented woman doesn’t only work for Save The Children and the Red Cross, she is also Goodwill Ambassador for the environmental protection program of the United Nations. As a true social media fanatic, she tells the story about this program as much as possible. As part of her ambassadorship, she let already plant millions of trees to stop deforestation in Brazil. Furthermore, she raises attention for this problem at the next generation by providing information about climate change at primary schools: as the twig is bent, the tree is inclined. Keep up the good work, Gisele.

Supermodel slash philanthropist fashion model Lily Cole has been modeling since she was 15 years old. Despite a busy career and a study at Cambridge University, she found time to support several charities: from clean drinking water, to raising AIDS awareness to saving the Asian Elephant. On top of this, Lily promoted coding under young girls, just like her colleague Karlie Kloss. Right now Lily focuses on her fashion brand, names The North Circular. With this brand she responds to the desire for fashion, but without people getting exploited. That’s how we like it.
As a true philanthropist fashion model ánd role model, philanthropist Natalia Vodianova owns many charity organizations. She only does modelling work for one month a year, while she spends the rest of her time working from her office in Paris, where she is at charge of several charities. In 2004 she launched The Naked Heart Foundation, in response to the hostage drama in North Ossetia, where 1100 children were held hostage and 186 of them died. With her foundation she wanted to do something for the disadvantaged kids in her home country, so since then they have built more than 200 playgrounds in Russia.
Recently Nadia wanted to make philanthropy available for everyone and so she launched the app Elbi, where users can do ‘micro donations’, starting at 1 dollar. Furthermore, unique (fashion) goods are sold within the app. Think of a one-of-a-kind Louis Vuitton bag or a stunning Stelly McCartney piece. All for charity; so let’s spend our money wisely.
