Harry Winston Sponsors AMFAR’s 22nd Cinema Against AIDS Event

by | May 28, 2015 | Events, Fashion, Lifestyle

AmfAR’s 22nd annual fundraising event was to benefit the organization’s research programs and platforms for raising awareness of HIV/AIDS. 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 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 22 live auction, which received a final bid of 450,000 Euros. They also provided jewelry from their new collection, Secrets by Harry Winston, for the spectacular black-and-white themed runway presentation. The show was curated by Carine Roitfeld and featured top models, including: Karolina Kurkova, Gigi Hadid, Liu Wen, Irina Shayk and Izabel Goulart.

The epic cluster diamond necklace – the shining star of the evening, serves as part of a bespoke diamond necklace, designed exclusively for amfAR’s live auction. It was inspired by the Taylor-Burton diamond once owned by Dame Elizabeth Taylor – amfAR’s Founding International Chairman and creator of the first Cinema Against AIDS in 1993.  The unique necklace also paid tribute to Harry Winston’s milestone three-year partnership with the foundation. It features a pear-shaped diamond center stone that is elegantly framed by a cluster of pear-shaped stones, and set on a multi row diamond necklace. The Epic Cluster features 208 diamonds, weighing a total of approximately 32.99 carats.

With its support representing the single largest corporate partnership in the organization’s history, Harry Winston is the first company to serve as the presenting sponsor for amfAR’s 27 gala events over the next three years, and is the leading supporter of amfAR’s research initiative, Countdown to a Cure.
