Next Wednesday, January 22, between 400 and 450 people are expected to sit down to a dinner in conjunction with the Chambre Syndicale, French fashion's governing body, to benefit AIDS charities at the restaurant in the Bois du Boulogne park.

At the event, hosted by Jean Paul Gaultier and Ines de la Fressange, tables will be sponsored by names such as Dior, Lanvin, Rykiel, Yohji Yamamoto and Chanel.

While no entertainment for the dinner has been mentioned at this point, prospective diners shouldn't feel too disappointed.

Aside from sharing a room with a smorgasbord of fashion movers and shakers, the raffle prizes look rather promising.

Sponsors like Dior and Hermes are keeping tight-lipped about their prize donations, but Renault, for one, has announced it will be handing over the keys of a Megane to one lucky ticket holder.
