On May 21st of 2011, infamous twin designer brothers Dan and Dean Caten from DSquared2 will be behind the scenes for the much-anticipated Life Ball 2011 event in Vienna. Life Ball has been raising money through the fashion industry to help the fight against HIV/AIDS since 1993 with unique approaches and fabulous fashionable experiences. Susanne Stemmer and Markus Morianz photographed this year's campaign with such divinity and vibrancy.
Emulating a Roman theme with an angelic approach, 'The Wings of Tolerance' is the underlying motif for Life Ball 2011. HIV/AIDS is such a complex and deadly disease that claims the lives of countless individuals per year; however, what this year's ball is expecting to provide is more knowledge on the subject, and to raise as much as it can to help eliminate HIV/AIDS once and for all.
