Henrichsen, along with Ann Wiberg, will show their Trash-Couture designs at a fashion charity extravaganza at the Passenger Terminal in Amsterdam in aid of Dutch charity Orange Babies.

Orange Babies was set up to help provide assistance to pregnant mothers with HIV/AIDS and their children in Africa.

In June 2000 the charity held its first big fashion show which featured work from names like Chanel, Azzedine Alaia, Christian Lacroix and Bernard Willhelm.

According to make-up artist John Kattenberg, who is one of the organizers, this year's event entitled "Jabu Means Joy" will be divided into separate parts with a dinner, two fashion shows and an after party.

Apart from the slew of big names - like Dior, Jeremy Scott, Gaultier, Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Stephen Jones, Raf Simons, and Stephen Burrows - slated to appear that evening, work from the Dutch design academies will also be showcased in the first show.

The second show, after an interval provided by three musicians from Mali, will be opened by Trash-Couture with outfits featuring a salvaged sequined panel from an YSL dress and concluded by a parade of outfits from Yves Saint Laurent's iconic African collection of 1967.

A charity auction has also been planned with Burrows, Trash-Couture and hot jeweler Roderigo Otazu among those donating items.

Kattenberg explained that his South African boyfriend, Baba Sylla, originally came up with the idea of the charity after being overcome with grief by the sight of an AIDS-infected mother asking his elderly father to take care of her baby after her death.

On returning to Holland, Sylla set in motion the founding of Orange Babies.

Amongst those expected to turn out and show their support for this worthy cause are a bevy of Dutch celebrities and football players like Patrick Kluivert, Michael Reiziger and Jimmy Hasselbaink.

"We can't guarantee that all the footballers will be there, but all the wives definitely will!" Kattenberg joked.

Also trying to be there is super snapper Mario Testino who, according to Kattenberg, "loved the first show so much he really wants to come back."

Upping the celeb ante even more, Pat McGrath will be in charge of making-up the models, including such greats as Veruschka, Pat Cleveland and Debra Shaw.

Philadelphia-born Shaw, who modeled in the 2000 event, is returning not just as a model but also as a stylist for the second half of the show.

"When I was here last I was working just as a model," Shaw explained to FWD, "but since then I've become a fashion editor at Spoon magazine. So that's why I was invited back - as a stylist, model and ambassador."

All profits made will go towards funding the pioneering work of Dr. Glenda Gray and Professor James McIntyre at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in the huge Soweto Township outside Johannesburg, South Africa.
