Roberto Cavalli will be the star and supporter of the Life Ball 2013, charity fund-raising event dedicated to the fight against Aids

Roberto Cavalli to be joined by high-profile guests including Bill Clinton and Eva Longoria, and Marie Claire, for extravagant fund-raising events dedicated to the fight against Aids.

Starting in Cannes on the 23rd of May, Roberto Cavalli is sponsoring a glitzy amfAR gala featuring Carine Roitfeld as Creative Director. During the star-studded evening, a series of one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the 'gold' theme - recently presented at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan - will be donated and auctioned directly by Roberto and Eva Cavalli, raising money for AIDS Research.

The next day the renowned designer will jet into Vienna where he will open his first Flagship Store in the Austrian capital, a grand boutique characterised by the sophisticated concept and modern philosophy of the Cavalli world. Cavalli will then host the largest charity event in Europe, the Life Ball.

The high-profile charity fund-raising event will include a major fashion show featuring an unprecedented anthology of typically fabulous Cavalli pieces, all inspired by the One Thousand and One Nights theme of this year's ball.

Last but not least, Cavalli will then auction off a personalised Mini car in the style of the celebrated fashion house, with all proceeds being donated to the Life Ball foundation.
