kenneth cole shirtDesigner Kenneth Cole is famous for his witty slogans, often used to raise attention for various social causes. Now he's taking his Kennethisms to T-shirts with a special custom T-shirt store on the Kenneth Cole Facebook page to help save the Gulf. Through the month of July 100% of net profits from the sale of the shirts will be donated to AWEARNESS, The Kenneth Cole Foundation to support the Gulf clean-up efforts. People visiting the site can mix and match 12 slogans, 14 colors, and various different graphic designs to create their own custom shirt. T-shirts retail for $35. "People everywhere need to get behind the Gulf cleanup efforts and by purchasing one of these custom T-shirts everybody can now look good by doing good," said Kenneth Cole.

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions, Charity



Every year the rich and famous of the fashion world gather in Vienna for the Life Ball. The charity event is the largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser of the year, and has been supported for the past ten years running by Mini. Over the course of their decade of collaboration, the BMW subsidiary has enlisted the talents of such noted designers as Diesel, Versace and Agent Provocateur, and the unique hatchbacks they've created have raised half a million euros for the cause.

This year, however, they've brought in three big name designers – Kenneth Cole, Diane von Furstenberg and Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa – to customize special Minis for the event. Each is featured in the image gallery below and will be auctioned off at the gala in Vienna on July 17 to kick off the 18th International AIDS Conference.

Kenneth Cole Chain or Shine Flap, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Silly name, gorgeous bag. Modern and glowing, the shape is rather ordinary, but the details are not. The large flap front is free of adornment, allowing the unique handle and strap to be the focus of attention. With a 3" drop, the solid handle has just the right amount of heft and looks comfortable to carry thanks to the leather padding. The 11½" chain shoulder strap is substantial, but not chunky, and the overall look is delicate. Measuring 11½"L x 2"W x 8¾"H, it is lined and features interior zip, cell and wallet slip pockets. $159.
