Missoni partnered with Life Ball and the fight against HIV/AIDS, with a fashion show of its Summer 2019 collection during Life+ Solidarity Gala, the charity dinner that opened the 26^th and final edition of Life Ball, held in Vienna on June 8^th, 2019.

The relationship between the brand and Life+ association began in 2003, when Missoni presented its best archive looks at Life Ball with a colourful extravaganza as part of the celebration for its 50^th Anniversary.

After almost 20 years, the family-run fashion house is once again amongst the main characters of the final act of this special initiative.

Katie Holmes, actress and AmfAR ambassador, hosted Life Ball ceremony wearing a lamè gown with lilac bustier and multicolour striped skirt from Missoni Winter 2018 collection.
