KEY POINTS:
T-shirts by designers Elusiv and Lonely Hearts Club and a silk dress by Love Lies Bleeding are three of the items being auctioned on sellmefree.co.nz this month in a bid to raise money for rescue helicopter services throughout New Zealand.
The charity auction runs until Monday, September 24 and allows bidders to vie for high quality garments from six of New Zealand's leading fashion designers.
The rescue helicopter service relies on corporate sponsorship and public donations, so the winning bids will help keep the helicopters in the air.
General Manager of sellmefree, Josh Borthwick said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to promote some of New Zealand's emerging and established fashion designers as well as support a very worthwhile cause."
The rescue helicopter service operates 24/7, and has made a life or death difference for many New Zealanders.
A range of garments and sizes - both men's and women's - will be available from Air New Zealand Fashion Week designers Salasai, Elusiv, Love Lies Bleeding, Lonely Hearts Club and Chelsea Thorpe and street-wear label Federation.
All items are available online at sellmefree.co.nz.
