She might be one of the world's most famous models, but that doesn't mean Kate Moss can't still laugh at herself. For Red Nose Day in 2015, Moss recruited David Walliams to star alongside her in the advert for Rimmel's limited-edition Red Nose Red Lipstick for Comic Relief, with the comedian impersonating some of the most famous model pouts in the business in a bid to "Get The Red Nose Look".

"We are all hoping that people will make their face funny for money - please buy the lipstick put it on your nose, put it on your cheeks, make yourself look like a clown and raise some money," - Kate Moss. The shade of lipstick which she created with Rimmel for the charity event, which took place on March 13th is called :Rimmel Red Nose Red and available nationwide, priced at £5.49, with £1.67 of each sale going to Comic Relief.

Ive always been a huge fan of Kate Moss ever since i was a young girl, and I'm also a huge fan of David Walliams. Ive always thought he was hilarious ever since Little Britain came out, he's the only reason i still watch Britain's Got Talent too. So this duo has been one to really catch my eye. The campaign video is very light hearted and comical, bringing a sense of humour to a very serious subject. Allowing viewers to get easily get involved without going all out, quick easy and simple. All we have to do is buy a lipstick which will make us feel great in order to try and help others feel great. I think this is a great campaign with a great attitude, and has been featured in the likes of vogue and the daily mail.

But this year it was TK Maxx who stepped for its 7th year teaming up with Comic Relief as the official retailer of the exclusive, limited-edition, designer Red Nose Day T-shirts.Created by renowned photographer Rankin, they featured a range of cute and funny animals with attitude. Featuring nine quirky animal designs, including Bertie the bunny, Florence the goat and Rankin’s own dog Doris. What’s even better is that the t-shirts are wholly manufactured in Africa with fairtrade cotton - meaning a fairer price for the farmers. and were available in men’s, women’s and kids’ sizes.

After photographing iconic figures from the Queen to David Bowie, Rankin now turned his lens to animals. “I designed this range especially for Comic Relief with my love for animals in mind”, Rankin explained. “I wanted to be able to put a fun and creative spin on classic images for this specific campaign to put a smile on people’s faces for Red Nose Day and encourage everyone to make their laugh matter.”

The TK Maxx and Comic Relief partnership is now in its seventh year, and has raised over £17 million since 2005. This year’s t-shirt campaign, fronted by comedian Jack Whitehall and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.
