New York, NY, February 10, 2010—amfAR kicked off fashion week with its annual New York Gala last night, honoring President Bill Clinton, Diane von Furstenberg and amfAR Founding International Chairman Dame Elizabeth Taylor for their vital and distinctive contributions to the global struggle against HIV/AIDS. The black-tie benefit marked amfAR’s 25th year, and featured a special reunion performance of “That’s What Friends Are For” by all of the original artists: Sir Elton John, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, and Stevie Wonder. Also in recognition of amfAR’s 25 years, special tributes were made to the Foundation’s co-founders, Mathilde Krim, Ph.D and Dame Elizabeth Taylor. The evening was presented by Hublot, and co-sponsored by M*A*C Viva Glam. More than $1.5 million was raised for AIDS research.
