Life Ball, held in Vienna, Austria over the weekend, once again lived up to the hype as the world’s most…

If anyone can pull together a well-heeled crowd on a subzero weekday eve, it’s Waris Ahluwalia. He unveiled his latest design, a bracelet designed in collab with Waris Loves You and Aldo, on Wednesday night.

As the annual tee-off for NYFW each Febuary, the amfAR Gala gathers the crème de la crème of the style set for a philanthropic black tie evening. This year’s fête will be hosted at Cipriani Wall Street on February 5th.

Instead of sitting front row on Wednesday night, Fern Mallis was front and center on stage at the 92Y for a lengthy chat with Kenneth Cole as part of her “Fashion Icons” series. The designer’s climb to fame came along with witty one-liners and punchy political sayings, and he proved to be ever the entertainer at the Q&A. As a sort of intermission, an HBO documentary, The Battle of amfAR, was shown to highlight Cole’s work towards finding a cure for AIDS. As a final treat, Simon Doonan and Alan Cumming joined Cole and Mallis to close out the night. And we took astute notes from start to finish…

If you stumbled upon the Meatpacking ‘hood last night and noticed that things seemed a little different outside of Theory’s store on Gansevoort, your eyes didn’t deceive you. The lights about the store were turned red in honor of (RED) and the Global Fund to fight AIDS. Inside, Theory previewed their upcoming (THEORY)RED and (JONATHAN ADLER)RED special edition capsule collection available on World AIDS day, December 1st.

Last night AID FOR AIDS (AFA) International hosted its 2013 My Hero Gala to raise money for the awareness and fight against HIV and AIDS at Three Sixty on 10 Debrosses Street in Tribeca. AFA primarily works with Latin American immigrants in the USA and has six offices across Latin America. This year the event honored Peruvian artist Ernesto Pimentel and Dr. Robert Redfield, who is the co-founder and associate director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine for their fight against the disease.

The ticket of the day is amfAR’s 4th annual “Inspriation Gala” tonight at The Plaza with a performance by Carly Rae Jepsen, and a runway show of the world’s leading men’s designers. The event is the brainchild of nightlife legend and one of the greatest and beloved guys in town, Josh Wood. He filled us in on what’s on the menu for the eve and why three fashion icons (Valentino, Cumming, Lopez!) are being honored.
