The hosts are famous for a variety of different things (fashion, art, Broadway, starring on 30 Rock!!), but all came together for the amazing cause. The AIDS research foundation has collaborated with Josh Wood Productions for a series of events which will begin in New York and continue in Paris and LA.

The event celebrates fashion and creativity. 2010's theme is "Black Tie//Black Leather". The designers involved, including Kenneth Cole, will auction off pieces at the June 3rd gala.

Other designers that are confirmed include Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Band of Outsiders and YSL.
