Indian businesswoman Isha Ambani - the Yale educated daughter of Mukesh Ambani - who sits on the board of Jio and Reliance Retail attended the 'The Art of Giving' Love Ball, a charity event hosted by Natalia Vodianova at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in support of the Naked Heart Foundation.
Ms Ambani wore a floor-length black Givenchy gown with colourful sequins, carried a black Givenchy clutch and wore black Prada platform sandals. During the dinner and the auction, Ms Ambani sat at the side of the host, Natalia Vodianova - partner of Antoine Arnault - showing her support for the work of the Naked Heart Foundation and marking the beginning of what hopes to be a charitable alliance between the two families.
Natalia Vodianova, the Russian supermodel and philanthropist, invited guests (including Adrien Brody, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, Olivia Palermo, Christian Louboutin, Laetitia Casta, Milla Jovovich, Marc Jacobs, Mario Testino, Riccardo Tisci) to celebrate the Naked Heart Foundation's work to support children with special needs at the much-anticipated fifth jubilee edition of the Love Ball.
One of the world's most renowned high-society charity events, the Love Ball took place in Paris, France at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, under the patronage and in the presence of Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH/Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Designed by American architect Frank Gehry, the building falls in line with the LVMH group's efforts to promote art and culture over the last 20 years.
An intimate black-tie dinner for a sophisticated audience of 250 guests from around the world was followed by a live auction of the finest works of contemporary art. The auction catalogue curated by Jean-Paul Claverie, advisor to the chairman Bernard Arnault, with the help of the Naked Heart Foundation's own specialist and trustee, Sandra Nedvetskaia, assembled a unique selection of artworks, reflecting the best of international contemporary practice. Oliver Barker, chairman of Sotheby's Europe, wielded the gavel for the night.
All the funds raised through the charity dinner and the auction go towards developing support services for families with children with special needs and constructing inclusive playgrounds and play parks for children of all ages and abilities, which are the Naked Heart Foundation's two main areas of work.
