It's not the first designer project for charity (we mentioned the Xmas tree project last month) but it looks like fun: 80 clothes designers have taken a Minnie doll and mucked about with it dressed it up beautifully in their own special way.

The dolls will be shown at Les Galeries Lafayette from 8th April 2008 (after a world tour that includes Japan, Berlin, New York and Milan), then auctioned off for the Maison de Solenn which helps young adults with problems of bulimia, anorexia and suicide.

Included in those taking part are Agatha Ruiz De La Prada, Anne Fontaine, Cacharel, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Ich & Kar (remember their exhibition?), Jean Claude Jitrois, Stella Cadente, Stéphane Plassier... For once, Christian Lacroix is not taking part (he was everywhere last year!).

Rendezvous at Les Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris, 8th April 2008.
