The New York charity circuit is alive and well!

This Wednesday evening, a bevy of fashionable and generous guests made their way to Glasshouse in Chelsea to celebrate the second phase of Purvi Padia’s UNICEF PROJECT Lion.

Founded by Padia in 2018, PROJECT Lion focuses on improving the lives of children without parental care in India. Seeing as India has more children than any other country in the world, with an estimated 1.5 million children growing up in residential institutions, Padia's mission could not be more paramount, and having already had success with reaching more than 582,000 children with care and support since its inception.

During the lively cocktail hour, guests including Lili Buffet, Grace Forrest, Elizabeth Kurpis, Daniela Tisch, Alyssa Varadhan and Dr. Lara Devgan shopped gorgeous pieces from the LIONESS collection, designed by Padia in collaboration with London Jewelers and benefitting her cause.
