Caroline Scheufele with an award

After the Grammy awards and the Golden Globes, the award season continued with the annual amfAR black-tie gala. On February 8, Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard, was honored at the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) for her brave and enduring commitment to the fight against AIDS.

A cause that she has always felt particularly passionate about. She received the Award of Courage from long-time friend David Furnish. This year’s exclusive gala dinner at Cipriani Wall Street was hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker and paid homage to amfAR’s late Founding International Chairman, Dame Elizabeth Taylor with a video tribute and special performance by opera singer Michelle Johnson, who sparkled in Chopard. After dinner, guests enjoyed a live auction followed by a performance by Theophilus London and Janelle Monáe. The excitement continued with music spun by DJ Michaelangelo. Among the celebrated honnorees Elizabeth Hurley and Karolina Kurkova were fabulous with Chopard jewellery. Once again the amfAR gala dinner was a succes and led us to the New York fashion week fall-winter 2012-2013.
