Other participants included: Damien Hirst, Alexander McQueen, Jamie Reid, Rachel Whitebread, David Bailey, Sir Terence Conran, Stephen Webster, Giles Deacon and others.
The artists, all of whom donated their time and work for free, worked alongside Leo Burnett London, who devised the concept as part of their House of cards campaign for Shelter, the housing and homeless charity. The campaign was designed to raise awareness of the depth of the housing problem in the UK, where 65,000 families will loose their home this year alone.

Unfortunately, Its a bit too late to see the exhibition yourself, as all the artworks where auctioned off last night, with all proceeds going to Shelter. But, in the gallery shop you can still purchase a limited edition A5 pack of cards in slipcases for just £70. They are also available at shelterhouseofcards.org.uk.
