Yahoo News Samantha Cameron and former aide Isabel Spearman reunite to launch fashion charity event
Samantha Cameron has joined forces with the woman who served as her special adviser in her years at 10 Downing Street to launch a fundraising scheme for a fashion charity.
Mrs Cameron and Isabel Spearman, who was awarded an OBE in former Prime Minister David Cameron's resignation honours list, were pictured together at an event for the Smart Works Fashion Club.
Smart Works is a charity that helps unemployed women prepare for job interviews by offering fashion and styling advice as well as interview training. Clients, who include former offenders and homeless women, are given an outfit to wear to an interview.
In a question and answer session, Ms Spearman, an ambassador for the charity, and Mrs Cameron discussed the importance of women feeling confident in the clothes they wear for work.
It was part of an event at the Devonshire Club in the City of London to launch a series of talks to raise money for the charity.
Since leaving Downing Street, Mrs Cameron has set up her own fashion label called Cefinn, which combines the first and last letters of the Cameron surname with the initials of her four children- Elwen, Florence, Ivan and Nancy.
The 35-piece collection is described as an "urban uniform for busy women who love fashion".
After being an aide for Mrs Cameron, Ms Spearman went on to run a brand and image consultancy. She was previously PR director for accessories brand Anya Hindmarch.
Speaking after the launch event Mrs Cameron said: "Whilst living at Downing Street I volunteered for Smart Works doing interview training and I am extremely passionate about supporting the charity as it is so effective at helping unemployed women gain confidence and prepare them for interview success."
During his time in office, David Cameron backed the work of the charity, saying: "Smart Works helps their clients approach job interviews with the skills and training they need to sell themselves and the confidence they will look the part.
"Their team of volunteers have provided invaluable support to over 1,000 women taking their first steps back into the world of work."
