"Ever wanted to raid Victoria Beckham&amp;#x2019;s closet? You&amp;#x2019;re in luck! The posh fashion designer, 40, has opted to sell 600 pieces from clothing to accessories of her famed wardrobe &amp;#x2014; from her &amp;#x2018;90s pop starlet era to today &amp;#x2014; to support the mothers2mothers charity, which strives to eliminate the transmission of HIV and AIDS between mothers and their unborn children.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe former Spice Girl tweeted a photo with some of the mothers2mothers workers, writing, &amp;#x201C;Proceeds from my #VBxTHEOUTNET sale will support @M2MTweets in their mission to end mother-to-child HIV transmissionx.&amp;#x201D;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe sale will take place on Net-A-Porter&amp;#x2019;s outlet site, TheOutnet.com, from Aug. 20-25. The initiative started with gynecologist Dr. Mitch Besser, the husband of singer/songwriter and activist Annie Lennox, and has been supported by Vogue&amp;#x2019;s Anna Wintour and designer Stella McCartney.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nDavid Beckham&amp;#x2019;s wife was inspired to make an extremely personal contribution after being invited by Wintour to travel to South Africa and meet some of the women affected earlier this year.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;#x201C;Going through my wardrobe and my archive I found all these clothes &amp;#x2013; so many iconic pieces - that bring back such happy memories. I just felt a) I wanted to raise money and b) I wanted to share them,&amp;#x201D; she told British magazine Grazia. &amp;#x201C;These clothes have been on some incredible journeys &amp;#x2013; I&amp;#x2019;ve had so much fun in them, and I want to share that and give other people the chance to have a piece of what I&amp;#x2019;ve been so incredibly fortunate to have.&amp;#x201D;\r\n\r\nTo pick out the pieces, the designer&amp;#x2019;s mom, Jacqueline Doreen, and sister, Louise, helped her sift through her closet.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#x201C;My sister was so harsh,&amp;#x201D; Beckham admitted. &amp;#x201C;I&amp;#x2019;d be like, &amp;#x2018;Oooooh I can&amp;#x2019;t give this away,&amp;#x2019; and she&amp;#x2019;d say, &amp;#x2018;Give me that. Put it in the box now&amp;#x2026;Harper is never going to want that!&amp;#x2019; To be honest there are some pieces I&amp;#x2019;m sure Harper would love &amp;#x2013; I think I&amp;#x2019;ve donated the very best pieces - but there are a lot of other people out there who will really enjoy them.&amp;#x201D;\r\n\r\nOf the 600 items they pulled to sell on a first-come, first-serve basis, 10 of Beckham&amp;#x2019;s most iconic looks will be auctioned off for the charity."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
