Charitable Flashing Fashion

Noemie Lenoir's Wardrobe Malfunction Raises Money, Eyebrows

— October 4, 2009 — Naughty
For the American Foundation for AIDS Research, which was auctioning off dates with models to raise money for charity, the bust of a zipper caused thirty-year-old lingerie model Noemie Lenoir to have a severe wardrobe malfunction.

Sashaying around the stage, the dress that Noemie Lenoir was wearing suddenly split up the back as the zipper busted, exposing her unmentionables and entire backside in all its glory.

Thankfully, being a lingerie model, Noemie Lenoir recovered with grace, and managed to rake in $10,000 for the charity.
Trend Themes
1. Charitable Fashion Auctions - A rising trend of fundraising through fashion auctions is an opportunity for nonprofits and clothing retailers to collaborate with celebrities, models, and other fashion industry figures.
2. Wardrobe Malfunction Marketing - Companies can capitalize on the 'any publicity is good publicity' aphorism and create PR campaigns centered around wardrobe malfunctions, but with a subtle twist towards charity and donation for a good cause.
3. Publicity Stunts for Social Causes - Using unexpected or unconventional events to generate exposure and raise awareness for a social cause, such as Noemie Lenoir's wardrobe malfunction during the charity event, can be a disruptive innovation for marketing and social advocacy.
Industry Implications
1. Nonprofit Organizations - Charitable fashion auctions provide a unique opportunity for nonprofits to partner with fashion companies and leverage celebrity, model, and influencer connections to raise money for important causes.
2. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry can utilize wardrobe malfunctions as a new and innovative way to create buzz and attention around fashion shows, product launches, and marketing campaigns.
3. Marketing, Advertising, and Public Relations - The public relations and marketing industries can learn from Noemie Lenoir's wardrobe malfunction at the charity event and seek to create more viral campaigns for social causes, whether planned or unplanned.
