Queen Rania of Jordan travelled to New York this week for the charity dinner organized by The Kering Foundation. The Kering Foundation is part of Kering Group a global Luxury group that manages the development of a series of renowned Houses in Fashion, Leather Goods and Jewelry : Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, DoDo, Qeelin, as well as Kering Eyewear.
The Kering Foundation was set up in 2008 and since then it has been combatting violence against women by supporting survivors to live free from violence, changing behaviors and attitudes to break the cycle of violence and taking collective action to stand against violence. The Foundation funds local NGOs to provide support and resources to women and those directly impacted by violence. This year's dinner raised over $3 million dollars and benefited the following organizations to address gender-based violence National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), Global Fund for Women, Jordan River Foundation (JRF) and Ms. Foundation for Women.
Her Majesty Queen Rania, founder of the Jordan River Foundation, took the stage to emphasize the urgency of the Kering Foundation’s core mission. “Sadly, crises are not gender-neutral,” she began. “Today, we live in a world where seismic disruptions have become the norm…from pandemics, to climate change, to mass migration, to conflict and shifting geopolitics. And women and girls are always the first to feel the ground shift under their feet. They are the first to suffer and the last to recover, their agony underground and in the shadows.”
For the evening, Queen Rania was wearing a gorgeous bespoke mustard jersey Bottega Veneta Turtleneck maxi dress that was based on the black Fall 2020 ready-to-wear number shown in the picture here. She paired the outfit with gold jewellery and Bottega Veneta knot minaudiere on strap.
