Vienna prepares for its fête of the year – the Life Ball

The Life Ball—one of the biggest and most spectacular annual charity events in the world—has attracted strong international interest and attention over the years. The main priority of the Ball is, however, not only the exuberant celebration of the party people or spectacular live acts, but especially the fight against AIDS.

This year’s fashion show is hosted by Vogue’s Franca Sozzani and features looks from Givenchy, Viktor & Rolf, Lanvin, Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Etro, and Dsquared2.

And last but not least, there will be performances by Ricky Martin, Christina Perri, 
Conchita Wurst, Leona Lewis, and Kesha.
