Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner Is Returning to New York This Fall
The Kering Foundation is bringing its Caring for Women dinner back to New York Fashion Week for a third year. This year’s dinner is set to take place on Sept. 9 at The Pool, located inside the Seagram building.
Since launching in 2022, the now-annual New York event has drawn a star-studded crowd to the Midtown venue in support of organizations that address gender-based violence. The three organizations selected to receive funds raised during this year’s dinner include Girl Effect, It’s On Us and the National Network to End Domestic Violence.

The 200-person event will be cohosted by Salma Hayek Pinault, Fran?ois-Henri Pinault, Camila Alves McConaughey, Matthew McConaughey, Carmelo Anthony, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Urs Fischer, Kim Kardashian, Donatella Versace, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup. Kering’s portfolio of brands will also be well-represented, with a live auction featuring experiences and items donated by Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and more. Last year’s auction raised more than $3 million.
“For women and children to be free to fulfill their potential unencumbered by the burdens of
fear, threat and trauma, it is paramount that we address violence at its roots to change behavior and heal our collective culture,” said Fran?ois-Henri Pinault, chairman and chief executive officer of Kering and chairman of the Kering Foundation, in a statement announcing the dinner.
The dinner will also feature a live performance, to be announced at a later date. Last year’s event, attended by Kardashian, Isabelle Huppert, Nicole Kidman, Lauren Sanchez, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Olivia Wilde, Channing Tatum and Zo? Kravitz, featured a performance by Florence Welch.
