Sidaction Fashion Dinner 2026

Sidaction Fashion Dinner 2026 – €597,000 Raised for the Fight Against AIDS

The 23rd edition of the Sidaction Fashion Dinner brought together leading figures from the worlds of fashion, film, and media at Lycée Carnot in Paris in support of the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Hosted around Jean Paul Gaultier, Sidaction Ambassador, the evening welcomed Simon Porte Jacquemus, Alexandre Mattiussi, Panayotis Pascot, Farida Khelfa, Béatrice Dalle, Pierre de Maere, Duran Lantik, Arnaud Valois, Aloïse Sauvage, Lucky Love, Alizée, Camélia Jordana, and Bilal Hassani, among many others.

A highlight of the Paris Fashion Week calendar, the event raised €597,000 to support the fight against HIV/AIDS in France and around the world. Professor Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and President of Sidaction, together with Jean Paul Gaultier and Florence Thune, Chief Executive Officer of Sidaction, emphasized the urgent need to continue supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS.

These funds remain essential to sustain the response to HIV, advance scientific research, promote HIV testing, and combat the discrimination faced by people living with HIV. The dinner menu for the 2026 edition was created by Guillaume Sanchez, chef of the MICHELIN- starred restaurant NESO. The fashion industry’s continued commitment to the fight against HIV helps fund cutting-edge research as well as organizations providing support to people living with HIV, both in France and internationally.

According to the latest UNAIDS figures (2025), 40.9 million people are living with HIV worldwide, and one in four still does not have access to life-saving treatment—including one in two children. Every week, 3,000 adolescent girls and young women aged 15 to 24 acquire HIV globally.
