Harry Winston Inc. jewels hit the runway
On Thursday the 21st of May, 2015, an excited buzz was heard throughout the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, in France, where a star-studded event unfolded late into the evening
Harry Winston, Inc., served as a Presenting Sponsor for the amfAR’s 22nd Cinema Against AIDS fund-raiser, which benefits the organization’s research programs and platforms for raising awareness of HIV/AIDS. The exclusive fund-raising event brought together an array of remarkably polished celebrities who complemented their outfits with Harry Winston accessories, and included stars such as Karolina Kurkova, Aishwarya Rai, Irina Shayk, Robin Thicke, Mary J. Blige, Liu Wen, Mark Ronson, and Maria Cuomo Cole.
“We are honoured to serve as a Presenting Sponsor for the highly anticipated Cinema Against AIDS event, at the Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc,” said Nayla Hayek, CEO of Harry Winston, Inc. “Beyond the glamour of the evening, what makes this gala particularly exciting is that we are celebrating the philanthropic legacy first instilled by our founder, at one of his most beloved places. For many years, Mr. Winston was a very loyal guest of the Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc, so the evening carries an added special meaning for the brand.”
In addition to serving as the night’s Presenting Sponsor, Harry Winston, Inc., also donated the Epic Cluster Diamond Necklace, a one-of-a-kind piece designed exclusively for the live auction, which received a final bid of 450,000 Euros, as well as providing jewellery from its new collection, Secrets by Harry Winston for the spectacular black-and-white themed runway presentation, which was curated by Carine Roitfeld.
