Roberto Cavalli, the official decor sponsor of the evening, set up the charity event in collaboration with 'Tearose', under the artistic direction of its founder Alessandra Rovati Vitali, combining elegant floral compositions with Cavalli`s iconic zebra and tiger prints.

 The 90 tables, seating over 900 guests, were set up with pieces from the Roberto Cavalli Home collection and overlapping mirrors, gorgonias and crystallized branches illuminated the prestigious Cavalli silk fabrics. The result was a sumptuos 'mise en place' in pure Cavalli style.

I love that the Cavallis are not just beautifying the world with fashion and design but also help to make it a better place by fighting Aids. That`s what all wealthy companies and individuals should do!

What do you like best about the event? Which are your favourite gowns and who was the best-looking guest?
