The show featured clothes by world’s leading fashion designers including Vivienne Westwood, Jaeger, Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen. On behalf of de Grisogono, Founder and President Fawaz Gruosi was very saddened with the news of Alexander McQueen’s passing – a true innovator of British and International Fashion.

Fawaz Gruosi, the Swiss watchmaker, began designing watches in 2000 with his Instrumento Uno – and today presents over 20 collections that speak of the brand, boldness and creativity. ‘I am proud to be once again supporting my dear friend Naomi and her great efforts towards this cause’. de Grisogono also participated in the charity auction, giving away two pairs of ‘His and Hers’ watches.

The first set to be auctioned was the male watch - FG One N03 Blackened Steel Retrograde Dual Time Zone and a woman’s watch - an Instrumentino N12/A, also Blackened Steel, with Diamonds.
