Model wearing Chopard jewelry at the Panda Ball
The World Wildlife Fund‘s 50th anniversary ball – named after that immediately recognizable and beloved icon of conservation, the panda – was graced by dignitaries and models draped in sponsor and partner Chopard‘s fine jewelry.
Held at the sumptuous Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva, Switzerland, the Panda Ball fundraising gala saw high-profile patrons like TT.SS.HH. Prince and Princess of Monaco, who witnessed an on-site auction conducted by Simon de Pury that raised 353,000 Swiss francs. The generous sum will go towards supporting various WWF conservation projects around the world.
After the dinner-cum-auction, sultry songtress Kirsty Bertarelli gave an acoustic performance of some of her latest songs, including the single “Green”, specially dedicated to the WWF.
