The big-cat strut

There's nothing that style-hungry celebs like more than to indulge their passion for fashion with a good cause.

Tonight the likes of Emilia Fox, Petrina Khashoggi and Caroline Stanbury will be heading to Tantra, in Soho, for a celebrity fashion event hosted by Lisa B in aid of Wildlifeline, a charity campaigning to protect wild animals in their natural habitats.

Aiming to raise money for the endangered Amur leopards of Russia, whose numbers are estimated to be as low as 33, the evening promises to be a highoctane glamour event, with a champagne reception followed by a catwalk show by designer Ninivah Khomo, featuring shoes by Manolo Blahnik and hats by Stephen Jones.

For fashion fans wanting something stylish to curl up under, the centrepiece of the evening will be an auction of 11 quilts donated by M&S and decorated by designers including Stella McCartney, Jacques Azagury, Betty Jackson and Ghost.

The quilts are one-off designs and collectors' items and will "hopefully raise enough money to fund an antipoaching team to protect the leopards", says Tammy Marlar, director of Wildlifeline. Roland Mouret, one of the designers involved, will also be attending and is "delighted to be involved ... We have a responsibility to preserve endangered species and ensure that future generations can enjoy such amazing natural beauty".
