Hawes and Curtis, the traditional shirt-maker has stripped a number of celebrities of their favourite shirts to auction at a charity fundraiser on Thursday 30 January 2003.
A number of famous faces, including Noel Gallagher, Graham Norton and Jamie Oliver have donated their lucky or special shirts for the auction in aid of Everyman, the campaign that raises awareness and funds for research into testicular and prostate cancers.
The Everyman campaign claims that the incidence of male cancers is rising dramatically and, regretfully, knowledge of the disease amongst men is at an all time low. Because testicular cancer is 96 per cent curable if detected early, raising awareness of the disease could literally help save lives.
The event will also unveil the new-look Jermyn Street store together with the latest contemporary ‘Curtis’ shirt range, which is the first ever informal, fashion collection launched by the 90-year old shirt making company.
