Time and talent donated at fundraiser for Haiti

In mid-June, Kyo photographed a fundraiser for Haitian women and children called Geminis Give Back, organized by Melky Jean and the Carma Foundation. The food was donated by Chef Lucmann Pierre, the desserts by Dana Herbert (recent winner of TLC’s Next Great Baker), the decor by Stella Inserra, the drinks by Veev, and the space by Saatchi & Saatchi. Everybody poured a lot of love into the event (literally and figuratively!)

We have to give a special shout-out to Lucmann for coordinating many of the vendors — a testament to his gentle and upbeat power of persuasion. Lucmann created a special menu featuring Haitian flavors that was complemented by Dana’s exuberant desserts, and Stella imbued the space with her natural glamour.
