Vienna/Bregenz, May 8, 2014. The international fashion label Wolford
is supporting the fight against HIV and AIDS as official partner of
the 22nd Life Ball in Vienna on 31 May 2014. "Wolford fascinates
women all over the world with its sensual fashion, innovative ideas
and sustainable quality. As a women's brand, we stand for high
expectations and practised social responsibility. These values
coincide with those of AIDS LIFE. We are consciously involved because
the organisation does important educational work for women", says
Axel Dreher, board spokesman for Wolford AG.

This year's ball features a creative highlight sponsored by Wolford:
the Style Contest on the evening of 31 May with a selection of the
most extravagant looks chosen by an international VIP jury, followed
by the crowning of the Life Ball Queen 2014. The winner can look
forward to not only a free holiday, but will also be recognised with
an award: a unique sculpture donated by Wolford and individually
manufactured by the Vorarlberg-based artists NONOS.

This year, Wolford is stylishly and subtly dressing 100 débutantes in
a classic Wolford body. Furthermore, 73 exclusive gift vouchers will
be awaiting the lucky winners of the tombola.

"Wolford is a strong, international brand which perfectly matches
with us. We are pleased to have the fashion label back on board as a
partner and a sponsor", states AIDS LIFE founder and Life Ball CEO
Gery Keszler. Wolford AG supported the Life Ball back in 1996-1998.
