This year was the 23rd Life Ball<\/a> charity held in Vienna, a festive event that contributes to the fight against AIDS. Always opening\u00a0with a\u00a0runway show enlisting\u00a0some of fashion’s most celebrated and larger-than-life\u00a0players, this year was Ball\u00a0veteran\u00a0Jean Paul Gaultier<\/a>‘s turn in the spotlight. One of the couturier\u2019s main muses is Alexandra Agoston<\/a> who has been a Gaultier staple since she began modeling.\u00a0\u201cI first met Alexandra when she was just starting her first season in Paris. I was struck not only by her statuesque beauty, but also by how well-spoken she was,\u201d said Jean Paul Gaultier<\/a> of Alexandra. So of course she was cast to walk in his spanning retrospective fashion show for the\u00a0Life Ball event\u2013whose aim is \u201cFighting AIDS & Celebrating Life.\u201d And celebrate they do, throwing one of the most fabulous parties of the year. It was 20 years ago he last showed at the event and Gaultier told Alexandra, \u201cLife Ball helps a noble cause and I have been supporting it for many years. I first did a show in 1995 and I returned to Vienna 20 years later. Lifeball has grown, it\u2019s an enormous celebration, a huge event; it is 20 times bigger and I am 20 years older but it doesn\u2019t matter. My model friends walked in my show, it was a pleasure to find them again in Vienna and they inspired me to present more than a hundred looks. I hope they had as much fun as me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexandra, amidst all the Klimt inspired gold and glitter, captured the spectacle\u2013exclusively here for Models.com:<\/p>\n
