The annual gala was held in New York Moynihan Station.

Last night in New York City, Moët & Chandon helped an illustrious crowd celebrate at the 2016 amfAR Inspiration Gala. Held at Moynihan Station, the evening honored model Naomi Campbell and Kim Jones, Louis Vuitton Men’s Artistic Director. Master Of Ceremonies, Whoopi Goldberg, kept the crowd laughing all night over their glasses of Moët & Chandon Imperial.

Other notables including featured performer Jason Derulo, Zac Posen, Kenneth Cole, Selita Ebanks, Nyle DiMarco, Brooke Candy, John Demsey, Kelly Bensimon, Alek Wek, Magdalena Frąckowiak, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union sipped on Moët & Chandon minis dispensed from a vending machine before the fashion show kicked off the evening.

The Inspiration series launched in 2010 to celebrate men’s fashion and style, while raising funds for amfAR’s lifesaving AIDS research programs. Each year features a different design “inspiration” theme. Since its inception, galas have been held in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, and Miami. To date, the Inspiration series has raised more than $26 million to benefit amfAR.

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, s an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and the advocacy of AIDS-related public policy.
