MILAN (AP) – The fashion crowd eased into the day Friday, the third day of Milan Fashion Week, after a late night raising money for AIDS research at the annual amfAR Milan gala.
The amfAR foundation honored Angela Missoni for her contributions to the cause at the Thursday night gala, with tenor Andrea Bocelli entertaining the crowd with Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” in a duet with his wife Veronica Berti.
Bocelli also participated in the auction to raise funds for research, and will host two winning bidders and their guests at a concert and private dinner in Tuscany. The price tag for each package: 35,000 euros, toward amfAR’s goal of a cure for AIDS by 2020.
Champagne flowed into the wee hours with after-party music by DJs Dimitri From Paris and Johnny Dynell.
Here are some highlights from Friday’s womenswear looks for next spring and summer, featuring Giorgio Armani, Versace and Roberto Cavalli.
