November 5, 1985 - Jayne Seymour, Lee Starkey and Freddie Mercury on stage at the Royal Albert Hall for the Fashion Aid for Africa. Fashion Aid was a single venue benefit concert. The original event was organised by Bob Geldof as part of Live Aid to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "largest gathering of fashion creatives in the UK", the event was attended by 5,500 people. Fashion Aid was the idea of student Fameed Khalique who created it as a part of his degree course whilst at North East London Polytechnic. He took the idea to Geldof and it became an alternate funding initiative following on from the success of [Live Aid] earlier in the same year. Fameed Khalique and Bob Geldof decided it would be an idea to bring together top artistic talent from the fashion world and the world of music to raise funds for Ethiopia. The event featured 35 hairdressers, 60 makeup artists, 120 dressers, 125 models and assorted celebrities from the entertainment world.
