Thanks to the generosity and mobilization of the houses of fashion, benefactor designers and photographers and donors, this first edition of the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala raised nearly 450,000 euros in donations for the Museum of Fashion of the City of Paris. In addition, this event contributed to enriching museum collections with 53 fashion items and accessories, 19 photographs and four illustrations by David Downton and Antonio Lopes.
