In the atmosphere of the XVII century Chateau de Widewille, a fairy tale will unfold and you will become a part of the story that we have worked on for two years to compose – a magical fashion show of 45 unique dresses. These pieces have been created especially for the Naked Heart Foundation, by some of the world’s most treasured designers and fashion houses. The highlight of the evening will be a chance to bid for one of these fairy tale garments through auction over an exquisite dinner. To ensure that our White Night is sprinkled with pixie dust, allowing it to fly into the foundation’s history as our most successful event to date, we have woven into the evening some special performances. We have been shining those lanterns to make wishes come true.Inquiries: Sandra Nedvetskaia[email protected] Tel: +41 (0)44 268 1013

Unfortunately, links seem not to be working properly. I can only see the thumbnails. <_<Hats off to Natalia. She's a wizard. I'm in awe of the collection she's put together. It's amazing.
June 1, 201114 yr I'm really impressed to see how she evoluated, from her beginnings (she was just a married young humble girl with many dreams as a new model) to now, a real business woman able to gather so many very important people, ruling such an association.....she seems much more unapproachable to me now, but I admire her She really has a blessed destiny. Hope she does not get too stressed ! I was also wondering if this time she'll be wearing a red dress, not that sure, since the colour theme is white and the dress code is silver/white. Maybe the only one in red ?
June 2, 201113 yr WWD PLAY TIME: Couture week in July promises parties fantastical enough to rival the high fashions on the runway. Natalia Vodianova has tapped French production wizard Alexandre de Betak to create a transporting decor for her White Fairy Tale Love Ball, to be held at Valentino’s spectacular Château de Wideville on the outskirts of Paris. Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Kate Winslet are among VIPs expected at the event, all in benefit of the Naked Heart Foundation, a charity that aids underprivileged and special-needs children in Russia. To date, the foundation has built 60 play parks in 44 Russian cities. The centerpiece of the Paris night is a fashion show of more than 40 custom-designed dresses, all inspired by fairy tales, that will be auctioned off that evening by Christie’s. Participating designers range from Agent Provacateur and Chanel to Vivienne Westwood and Yves Saint Laurent. Monies are also raised via sales of tickets and tables for the dinner gala. Guests are to be treated with a surprise concert and go home with a limited edition photo book by Paolo Roversi featuring Vodianova modeling each of the exclusive designer dresses. dresses Valentino and Stella McCartney
June 2, 201113 yr ariti, thanks!outstanding. There is something about Natalia's movements, I can't put my finger on what it is. It is more present and real in pictures than those of any other models with even better bodies. Well, for me Daria or Gisele may have more perfect model-bodies but they cannot beat Natalia's artful expressiveness. They just don't touch.this is why my hopes are high for her movie, although moving expressively your body and face is not enough for the movie genre and acting skills are no less important and she probably lacks them due to the lack of formal training. But Natalia has proven she is good at learning, she is a talented student.

June 3, 201113 yr look the picswell? I have no opinion on this. Not clear to me why she hides her face and whether it necessarily has to do with her male companion. There just could be so many other reason why she shields her face from cameras. I just love it when she wears modern non-fussy style, she looks so sleek, young, and easy-going. Btw, it always strikes me how much her head is bigger than any other people's heads and I used to dislike large heads in people (especially with extra flesh - just had a very visceral reaction to it) but Natalia photographs so well and it does not give me the same reaction. But I think she is the only one who does not! if you look at every pic, her head literally is bigger than even any man's head
June 3, 201113 yr look the picswell?It is absolutely ridiculous that she did not want to show his face.At the party, she was happily posing for photographers, but to leave does not show his face to me is absolutely ridiculous.Natalia hiding her face to worry, if she always looked to the paparazzi and always in control of all situations. She loves attention and now hides his face, I think it's the first time I see photos that she does this ..The beginning of the end.
