Tornado Matthew caused terrible damage and destruction on the Caribbean island of Haiti just before the opening ceremony of the Bovet 1822 Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ) Brilliant is Beautiful Fundraiser Gala event. Fortunately the gala went on to raise 850,000 pounds sterling. The money was collected in conjunction with supermodel/musician/activist Karen Elson and it will go towards the education of women in the destroyed and poverty-stricken island.

During the event at the majestic Claridge’s hotel in London, to which Bovet gave its name and also acted as the strategic partner of AJP, celebrities like soul singer and Grammy Award winner Maxwell and actress Kelly Brook made an appearance.
