Save the Date: James Franco and Michael Kors to be Honored at amFAR and BODHI’s Inspiration Gala

BODHI, one of fashion’s favorite brands of luxury handbags and travel goods, is proud to support leading organization for HIV research amfAR this June 14 for the non-profit’s Inspiration Gala to be held at the Museum of Modern Art. The glamorous gala will feature a “Black Tie Hot Metal” theme and will honor amfAR supporters James Franco and Michael Kors.

The evening will showcase some of BODHI’s most iconic men’s pieces, including the popular Vice Bag – a modern, crinkle-leather briefcase with a sleek hardware handle that both satisfies the evening’s theme and is a sterling symbol of the chic brand’s aesthetic. In addition to the display, BODHI will also host a runway show featuring a collection of men’s bags for a VIP guest list to include Heidi Klum, Andy Cohen, and Courtney Love.

Following the show, the fabulous evening will continue with a live auction that includes a signature BODHI luggage set, a cocktail reception, gala dinner, and special performances by Liza Minelli and Jennifer Hudson. Joseph Janus, Creative Director and Senior Vice President of BODHI, comments, “I am proud to support amfAR and very happy to use my creativity in designing bags to help raise money for such a great cause.”
