Having attended the fashionable Bazaar Icons and Met Gala afters, it was a pleasure to attend The Love Ball. Organized by the CFDA and  Bartschland, the first two Love Balls raised over $2.5 million for those affected by HIV/AIDS. With vibrant eccentricity and a nod to the ball culture, the timing of having it on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots ensured it was a lavish affair, with wine, dinner, trophies, performances, and a host of funds donated to the New York City AIDS Fund, under the New York Community Trust.
