Hurricane Sandy devastated parts of the American East Coast, particularly New York, but the relief effort is well under way with the likes of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake helping out on the ground and Lady Gaga donating $1 million (£630,000). And now fashion has played its part as Fashion for Relief stepped in stylishly.
