Diesel for example presented 5 outfits to the theme 'Fight the Flames of Ignorance' and wedding ceremonies between two women and two men as a statement for the importance of love.

"I am glad to be here again to celebrate this important anniversary, and the fight against HIV, with a strong statement: a wedding where the prejudices are destroyed through love," said Renzo Rosso.
