James Brown's celebrity auction

Celebrity hairdresser James Brown (he is the man behind Kate Moss' hair, and one of her closest friends) has decided he really wants to make the extra day count and has organised a sale of his celebrity friend's possessions in aid of Cancer Research UK's, Make Today Count Campaign.

The cancer charity is close to James' heart as he has lost two sisters to the disease, his little sister Marina just two weeks ago.

So, he has called on everyone he knows to donate something fabulous to his, for one day only, sale - which is to be held on Friday at the Cancer Research UK shop on London's Marylebone Road.

James will be in the shop from 11am and shoppers will be able to enter in small groups to see all the outfits and accessories on display. Then a silent auction will take place and the highest bidder will take home an iconic slice of celebrity fashion.

Dita Von Tesse has donated the Couture Dior gown she wore to Dior's 60th anniversary in Paris (pictured), Kate Moss has given the vintage silk dress she wore to the V&A's Couture ball in September, while Stella McCartney has donated a clutch from her new collection.

There are also contributions from Sienna Miller, Jude Law, Kylie, Tracey Emin and Naomi Campbell.

And if you can't make it to London on Friday you can also bid online now at www.jamesbrownlondon.com.
