In an ambitious step towards championing global equity and equality, Versace has entered into a multi-year alliance with The Clooney Foundation for Justice. This collaboration underscores the Versace Foundation’s unwavering dedication to making a global impact.

This September, the Albie Awards will unfold at the New York Public Library. Hosted by CFJ Co-Founders Amal and George Clooney, alongside the President of the Ford Foundation, Darren Walker, the event promises to be a star-studded affair. A-list attendees including Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Alicia Keys, Meryl Streep, Andra Day, Julianna Margulies, and Donatella Versace are anticipated.

Emmanuel Gintzburger, CEO of Versace, conveyed the brand’s resolute commitment to championing global equity and equality. Similarly, Donatella Versace, Versace’s Chief Creative Officer, expressed her admiration for Amal and George Clooney’s relentless endeavors to foster a just world.

I am truly honoured to be supporting my friends Amal and George Clooney with Versace’s donation to the Albies. I am incredibly inspired by the way that Amal and George work so tirelessly to make this world a better place and fight for those that champion Justice globally.
