International President of Marc Jacobs honored

Robert Duffy, international president of Marc Jacobs, is set to be

honoured for his charity work at the 10th annual My Hero Gala in New York.

Taking place on November 8, the event raises funds for Aids for Aids International, a cause which Duffy has long been a loyal supporter of.

Earlier this year Marc Jacobs demonstrated their support for AFAI by designing T-shirts featuring illustrations by children living with HIV who participate in the charity's programs in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Mario Testino, Linda Evangelista and Narcisco Rodriguez are among the list of previous honorees, and this year will all sit on the gala's committee.
