Mytheresa to auction personal items from 12 designers for International Women's Day

Mytheresa is supporting International Women's Day, March 8, by auctioning an exceptional collection of personal objects donated by 12 internationally renowned designers. Proceeds from the sale will go to mothers2mothers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV by providing education and support for pregnant women and new mothers living with HIV.

Twelve international designers were invited to pick a personal item or creation to donate to Mytheresa for its upcoming charity auction. The project marks International Women's Day and will raise funds for mothers2mothers. It features donations from such designers as Alessandro Michele, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Sandra Choi, Miuccia Prada, Demna Gvasalia and  Silvia Fendi.

Standout pieces up for grabs include a Balenciaga clutch bag designed by Demna Gvasalia, a Dior "Book Tote" featuring Maria Grazia Chiuri's initials and a T-shirt from her first collection for the French fashion house, as well as a vintage necklace from Sandra Choi.

Pierpaolo Piccioli, Jonathan Anderson, Brunello Cucinelli, Kym Ellery and Lucie & Luke Meier have also donated items for the auction.
