Fashion industry icons and celebrities joined forces to build these very cute and creative miniature designer homes for the Women In Need charity which provides shelter for homeless families in New York City.
Oscar de la Renta, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Victoria and David Beckham, among other stars entered their own masterpieces for the worthwhile event. My personal favorite is the Helipad house created by Sean Combs.
The fabulous mini haute homes, which are all created from papier-mâché, will be displayed in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue prior to being auctioned off.
