One of the most glamorous nights of Milan Fashion Week, the Amfar Gala Milano, attracted a host of celebrities to the Italian city – from models including Joan Smalls and Lottie Moss, to TV stars Dylan Sprouse and Kat Graham, and musicians Rita Ora and G-Eazy.

The event is held annually to raise money for Amfar, an international non-profit organisation which works to support Aids research, HIV prevention, treatment education and advocacy.

Ora performed at the prestigious gala evening, and was joined by the likes of Olivia Palermo, Carine Roitfeld and Candice Swanepoel, from the fashion world.

The event was held at the Palazzo Mezzanotte on Saturday, September 21.

Amfar hosts fundraising galas globally in cities around the world, from Cannes to New York City, to Los Angeles, Sao Paulo and Hong Kong.

Islamophobia definition

A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
