Webster, famed for his originality and exquisite, cutting edge designs created the piece to raise funds for Malaria No More UK. Read more about the Stephen Webster mosquito ring.
Victoria Beckham said: It’s a fabulous statement piece and I’ve loved wearing it. It’s inspiring to see designers like Stephen working the power of fashion to save lives. Malaria is such an important issue, killing more children under five in Africa than any other single disease. I’m crossing my fingers this collaboration will generate loads of buzz and funds for new charity Malaria No More UK”.
Stephen Webster commented: I designed the mosquito ring for an important cause but also to be chic and cool to wear. Seeing Victoria sporting the one-of-a-kind Mosquito ring makes me hope it’s succeeded on both counts. There are just a few hundred limited edition replicas on ASOS, so you’ll need to make a dash for it to have a chance of getting one”.
Funds raised from the ring supported a malaria prevention project in Botswana.
Victoria Beckham said: “It’s fantastic that Malaria No More UK’s first fashion piece has created such positive results. As a mother of three children I find it deeply saddening that women and children are still the most vulnerable and susceptible to malaria in Africa. I was thrilled to hear that this project has helped buy more mosquito nets in Botswana, protecting 13,000 people and their families and communities from malaria.”
Stephen Webster, said: “What a crazy world when one bejeweled mosquito ring can be responsible for protecting 13,000 people from the malaria carried by mosquitoes. We are proud to be associated with Malaria No More UK and the great work the charity carries out in the communities affected.”
