Because Doing Good is Always in Style: Save the Gulf
We’re all angry, sad and frustrated about the situation in the Gulf but since most of us won’t be able to travel there to get involved in person, here are some easy ways to help out and show the powers that be how you feel.
Designer Kenneth Cole has always put equal amounts of style, substance and soul into his company and we’ve admired him as much for his philanthropy as his great-looking fashions, shoes and accessories. Although he’s said, “To be aware is more important than what you wear,” he’s managed to combine both in this “I Clean Up Well” t-shirt, whose sales will benefit his charitable foundation, the Awearness Fund, to support clean-up efforts. You can even design your own shirt on the Kenneth Cole Facebook page.
If your thinking runs more along the lines of “A picture is worth a thousand words,” you may want to opt for this graphic tee from Threadless instead, aptly – and hopefully – named “peliCAN.” All proceeds will be donated to Gulf Restoration Network.
You can also wear your sentiments on your lapel, around your neck or dangling from your wrist with the gorgeous Gulf Coast collection from Mignon Faget. Originally designed “to celebrate the abundant gifts of our coast,” these sterling silver pieces reflect the beautiful bounty that deserves to be saved. Act now so future generations won’t have to ask what those magnificent sea creatures on your jewelry are – or were.
