On July 25th icons from the worlds of sports, entertainment and fashion gathered at the Cipriani Wall Street in order to raise money for a good cause as well as celebrate the Manchester United soccer team's runway debut. As the players walked the runway, they wore timepieces from the 2011 Hublot collection. Such players as Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen, Ashley Young, and even team manager Sir Alex Ferguson demonstrated their swagger on the runway.
The show, entitled “Art of Fushion,” was put on in front of 300 guests including Matthew Settle, Tinsley Mortimer, and US women's soccer start Alex Morgan. After the fashion show everyone was invited to bid on auction items that included Hublot watches, Manchester United collectible items, and even an opportunity to box with Manny Pacquiao. By the end of the night, the event had raised roughly $65,000 dollars for the Manchester United Foundation which helps underprivileged children across the UK.
