On the 30th anniversary of The Love Ball, the CFDA teamed up with legendary event producer and fundraiser Susanne Bartsch to revive the HIV/Aids Fundraiser. This time, Billy Porter served as the night’s Master of Ceremonies; guest judges included Marc Jacobs and Indya Moore; artists such as KAWS and Kenny Scharf designed custom trophies, and the legendary houses battled in a grand show at Gotham Hall. With the generous support of M∙A∙C Cosmetics’ VIVA GLAM Fund, the event raised $500,000 to benefit eight New York-based community organizations.
