The red carpet at the Skylight at Moynihan Station sparkled last night at the 2016 amfAR Inspiration Gala New York, an event held annually to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and funding for the organization’s research programs. This year marks the second of Harry Winston’s partnership with amfAR in an effort to develop a basis for a cure by the year 2020.
Notable guests last night sported the luxury jeweler’s pieces including Gabrielle Union and Valery Kaufman. In early 2016, Harry Winston introduced its Countdown to a Cure timepiece with 20% of retail sales contributing to the amfAR Institute. These watches were an addition to the featured menswear runway show at the gala.
