The fashion show at the amfAR Gala Cannes on May 23 will have a fairy-tale theme. Carine Roitfeld commissioned 28 dresses from an array of designers.
“Because I’m very gothic, I could be ‘Corpse Bride,'” the French stylist and fashion entrepreneur deadpanned, before a second idea occurred: “Maybe ‘Edward Scissorhands.’ I could be his girlfriend.”Designers took to the theme like Snow White to woodland creatures, with Versace dressing Tinkerbell, Miu Miu Rapunzel, Maison Margiela Cinderella, LaQuan Smith Little Red Riding Hood and Richard Quinn Alice in Wonderland, to name a few.
Over her long career as a stylist and editor, Roitfeld has attended many fashion shows with spectacular fairy-tale moments, most recently John Galliano’s Brassaï-inspired fall 2024 Maison Margiela Artisanal couture show. To exalt the fairy-tale dresses she commissioned for the amfAR gala, Roitfeld called on many fashion friends to help, including casting director Piergiorgio Del Moro, hairstylist Olivier Schawalder and makeup artist Hugo Villard.
The exclusive black-tie event at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc spans cocktails, a seated dinner, plus the live auction, during which one-of-a-kind luxury goods, experiences and art are also sold off by famed auctioneer Simon de Pury.
