Among their guests were close friends and international celebrities.

Continuing in Vienna with a major fashion show event on the evening of the 25th and featuring an unprecedented anthology of pieces, Roberto Cavalli was the star and supporter of Life Ball. The charity fund-raising event, dedicated to the fight against Aids, featured as prominent part of this edition a runway set in the Municipal Place in Vienna.
