Vogue Italia Gastgeber der 20. Annual Life Ball in Wien Auf die Szene: Antonio Banderas, Bill Clinton, Rosario Dawson, Kim Porter, Brigette Nielson & mehr ...
Let the festivities begin it is officially spring and all of the biggest functions will be going on this month and through the summer. However I don't think any of them can top the 20th Life Ball in Vienna which is the biggest charity function in all of Europe. The Glitzy function is organized by AIDS LIFE, an independent non-profit organization, it's objective is to raise money to support people in areas of the world most affected by HIV and AIDS. Half of the raised funds go to national relief projects and half go to international organizations in support of HIV/AIDS treatment, research and prevention.
"VOGUE Italia hosts the 20th Anniversary Life Ball Fashion Show presented by MINI! Patron of the 20th Life Ball fashion show is none other than the most influential woman in fashion business: Franca Sozzani. Editor-in-Chief of the Italian VOGUE since 1988, she created a unique visual language for the magazine – thus making it the fashion bible par excellence.
