Sustainable fashion guru Amisha Ghadiali is no stranger to doing weird and wonderful things in the name of charity. Last March, with just two weeks notice,  Funny Women challenged her to perform stand-up for the very first time in front of a large audience and she did a fantastic job.

Last night, tucked into a small room in the corner of Shoreditch House, Amisha continued her sterling work as ambassador for WomanKind Worldwide, a human rights charity that works to transform the lives of women around the world.

A lonely chair was placed in the middle of the crowded room, and a nervous Amisha prepared to have her head shaved to highlight the plight of women around the world who have their heads forcibly shaved as punishment or as a weapon in conflict. Is there nothing this lady won't do in the name of charity?!
