FKA Twigs to Perform at Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner

FKA Twigs will take the stage at the Kering Foundation’s upcoming Caring for Women dinner, set for Sept. 11 in NYC.

The event benefits four NGOs — Sanctuary for Families, FreeFrom, Violence Intervention Program and Equality Now — committed to breaking the cycle of gender-based violence and supporting survivors and their families in gaining financial empowerment and independence. FKA Twigs is an ambassador for Sistah Space, which supports African and Caribbean heritage women affected by domestic abuse and will perform on behalf of the charity. The singer-songwriter filed a lawsuit against former partner Shia LaBeouf in 2020 bringing claims of sexual battery, assault, emotional distress and negligence; she settled the suit in July of this year.

The Kering event — taking place during New York Fashion Week — will be hosted by Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault and wife Salma Hayek Pinault, along with Colman Domingo, Demi Moore, Dolores Huerta, Jeff Koons, Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore and Madonna. Following the dinner, a live auction led by Lydia Fenet will raise funds for the beneficiary organizations, including one-of-a-kind fashion and hospitality experiences from Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Boucheron, Ginori 1735, ICONIQ, Pomellato and original artworks from Damien Hirst.

Established in 2008, the Kering Foundation supports local organizations that provide comprehensive services to victims of violence, as well as prevention initiatives, across France, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States. It also engages Kering’s ecosystem to create safe, supportive workplaces for survivors and mobilize new audiences to take action to end violence across generations. Over the past 15 years, the Kering Foundation has supported one million women survivors and partnered with more than 100 nonprofit organizations.
