The French soprano was in Paris earlier tonight to support UNICEF's annual fundraiser, Frimousses de Créateurs. The campaign invites fashion designers and design houses (like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Sonia Rykiel, Stella McCartney, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, and Versace) to create dolls, which are later auctioned to fund UNICEF's programs that treat childhood illnesses in Darfur, Chad, and the Central African Republic. Among the attendees, Dessay was joined by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Jeff Koons, and Giorgio Armani.
Natalie has collaborated with UNICEF in the past, singing earlier this year with L'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mynug-Whun Chung to raise funds for Benin.
