Balmain (Red) Carpet - MET Gala 2018 - Behind the Scenes

Balmain, Olivier Rousteing and a select group of “Balmain Army” members attending the Met Gala are proud to announce their participation in a unique fundraising auction to raise money for (RED)’s fight against AIDS. The (RED) carpet custom designs are being auctioned off on http://IfOnly.com/RED "The numbers are shocking. Today, there are over 16 million children worldwide who have lost a parent to AIDS. Most of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease is the largest killer of adults. That hits close to home. Having spent my earliest years in an orphanage, there are few things that can affect me as much as the struggles of a vulnerable child. Learning about (RED)'s impressive record of educating, empowering and protecting people through the Global Fund’s programs has helped make it clear to me that if we truly want to change this situation, we have the power to do that. Every day, (RED)’s efforts help to ensure that fewer children lose their parents to AIDS and that fewer babies are born with HIV—which is why I am dedicated to doing anything that I can to help (RED) and its essential work. For this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, I am happy to announce that Balmain, some important members of our "Balmain Army" and I are part of a very special (RED) carpet. My team and I have created one-of-a-kind Balmain designs for everyone seated at Balmain’s Met Gala table: Jennifer Lopez, Juliette Binoche, Natalia Vodianova, Natasha Poly, Julia
