A Bid To Save The Earth, Powered By Stella McCartney (via Style.com)

Charitybuzz launched the Christie’s Bid To Save The Earth auction today, with some amazing fashion-friendly items up for grabs to benefit a truly amazing cause! Check out this article from Style.com, below!

Last year, Christie’s brought in $1.36 million with its annual Bid to Save the Earth live auction in New York, where attendees bid on airplane rides with Harrison Ford and a day with Bill Clinton. The auction house has equally exciting items and experiences lined up for this year’s April 11 gala (Anna and Graydon Carter, Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault, and Susan and David Rockefeller are among the co-chairs), but ahead of the big event, Christie’s launches an online auction this morning, powered by Charitybuzz. Tea with model Elettra Wiedemann, a limited-edition reissued vintage Fendi Baguette handbag, and an afternoon of shopping with Simon Doonan (along with $2,500 to spend at Barneys) are all in the loot, but Style.com has its eye on the six bespoke Stella McCartney bags going up for auction today. McCartney, a dedicated green activist, teamed up with five artists to create one-of-a-kind bags for the auction. Style.com has the exclusive first look at the bags, featuring art by the likes of Mr. Brainwash (pictured, above), Bunta Inoue (pictured, below), and Peter Tunney, here. The bags will be for sale this morning through April 19 on Charitybuzz.com.

Looks good, does good (in more ways than one)..love it! coffeewithclarence: Sustainable Art: Artist Ron Arad has designed a flower-wheeled bike made of tempered steel to be auctioned as part of Elton John’s AIDS Foundation fundraiser. “Arad’s studio says the ride is pretty smooth — despite the gap in the tires design — and the faster you go the better it feels. According to Fast Company Design the bike was built in just two weeks and uses eighteen steel strips that are fastened together at symmetrical points.” Click the image to find out more.
