Karl Lagerfeld is teaming up with movie mogul Harvey Weinstein for what is set to be a highly covetable auction item at the upcoming Cinema Against AIDS gala during the Cannes Film Festival.
The annual amFAR black tie event is always a highlight of the festival, with some of the biggest names in fashion turning up for its fundraising auction.
The Chanel creative director is one of this year's chairs, and according to the New York Post, one lucky bidder at the May 24 event will be able to win the chance to appear in a short film directed by Lagerfeld and produced by Weinstein -- whose past producing credits include Shakespeare in Love, Gangs of New York, and Nine.
Meanwhile, Lagerfeld's past directing credits range from a series of commercials for European ice cream brand Magnum to fashion films for Chanel starring the likes of Freja Beha and Baptiste Giabiconi.
Other chairs for this year's Cinema Against AIDS gala, which will take place at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc, include Milla Jovovich, Kylie Minogue, and former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld.
The latter is curating a fashion show based on the concept of the perfect black wardrobe. Some 20 designers are contributing to the show, ranging from classic French labels Christian Dior and Chanel to rising talents such as Scotland's Christopher Kane, and the entire collection will be auctioned off as a single lot during the gala.
