Perennial Pop Queen Madonna has decided to use her fashion connections for a good cause. Madonna is teaming up with Italian fashion house Gucci to host a fund raising evening on 6th February 2008.

The event will raise money for Malawi orphans with funds going to UNICEF and Raising Malawi, a charity that Madonna co-founded last year.

It won't be the first time we've seen a collaboration between the two. Gucci design a lot of Madonna's stage outfits, and he once told Larry King that one of the biggest perks is receiving free clothes!


The former Material Girl turned Earth Mother Yoga-loving peacenik said:


"I am grateful that Gucci is joining forces with me to bring attention to a country with millions of children in desperate need of our help."


"Raising Malawi has already done tremendous work in helping these children. But we have much more to do, and this event will surely bring us closer to our goal."

The musical icon will have other celebrity co-hosts to help in the fundraiser. The list includes several A-list actors and actresses such as Adrien Brody, Salma Hayek, Téa Leoni, Lucy Liu, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Gwyneth Paltrow.
