Bono Celebrates African Art at Launch Party

Africa Rising : EDUN´s campaign.



On the heels of Louis Vuitton’s newest advertising campaign, photographed in Africa by Annie Leibovitz and featuring environmental activists, Edun-founders, and real-life couple, Ali Hewson and Bono, LV and Edun teamed up to celebrate the opening of “Africa Rising,” an exhibit of leading artists from the continent. The Edge, Naomi Campbell, Elisa Sednaoui, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Margherita Missoni, Tatiana Santo Domingo, and Caroline Sieber were among the crowd at 1 Rue du Pont Neuf in the first arrondissement who were treated to both a performance by Bono (with Grammy-winning African singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo) and later, once the dust settled from their set, Alexandra Richards on the turntables.

Shame on Bono that he could let Naomi Campbell into a benefit for Art launch in Africa. May I please remind everyone that Naomi Campbell wouldn't give testominy in court for receiving blood diamonds from her friend Charles Taylor which she did! and this is a man who is personally responsible for the death of millions of children and families in Sierra Leone as well as the exploiataion of child soldiers. So sad that she can act like she has no responsibility what so ever.
