I’m very excited to announce the newest section of the site, a special page called charities, where you will be able to learn more about all the charities and projects Natalia supports. In this section, you will be able to learn more about each particular charity, read interviews, see photos and much more. This is a very special project I’ve created especially for this site, so please don’t copy it elsewhere. Click the picture below to access it! Enjoy!

De Betak only just finished building the house last summer, but already it has become a refuge for his family and many friends, including assorted off-duty models (Natalia Vodianova, Liya Kebede), photographers (Christophe Rihet) and stylists (Aleksandra Woroniecka).

A little late, but here’s a video of Natalia talking about this year’s Love Ball.

Natalia managed to raise €2.3 million last night! Congratulations Natalia!

Like white birds against the green lawns, fashion’s high society migrated to Valentino’s chateau outside of Paris. The summer dress code of silver and white was designed to blend into the snowy scene, as the transparent tent under towering trees was opened for the White Fairy Tale Love Ball.

Natalia Vodianova, the Russian model and dedicated fund-raiser, made her entrance in a blood-red Valentino gown, the better to underscore her Naked Heart Foundation. The charity, dedicated to building playgrounds for impoverished children, mainly in Russia, raised €2.3 million, or $3.3 million, from the festivities Wednesday. And an emotional Ms. Vodianova announced that her charity would take on a second role: developing play places for special needs children like her own sister.

Couture designers blessed the event with dresses expressing their vision of a fairy tale, outfits worn by models on a the runway sprinkled with fake snow and later auctioned off.

Many of the designers had gathered earlier in the evening, first at the Élysée Palace, where President Nicolas Sarkozy presented the award of Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur to Anna Wintour, the editor of American Vogue; and afterward at the reception at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, where the lineup of guests was a who’s who of fashion.
