A Very Cole Evening with the Fall 2011 Collection

Sorry for the play on words in the title, but I just couldn’t resist! The week was off to a great start with the man himself, Kenneth Cole, hosting an event at his welcoming West Side spot.

Last night was another magical one spent at Kenneth Cole productions, the showroom and office space for Kenneth Cole’s eponymous label since its inception. On display was the new fall 2011 collection just mentioned on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily and certainly a great site to behold, as envisioned by Kenneth Cole Creative Director Ingo Wilts and the classic James Dean film Rebel Without A Cause. Although we are finally coming out of the doldrums of winter, I wouldn’t mind heading right back into it with one of these new coats and sturdy boots in tow! Here are some sneak peeks of the fall 2011 collection, as well as some pics to get the ambiance from the night. After we chatted with Kenneth, there was a screening of the film, which I had never seen all the way through. Never-ending snacks were served (I ate too many gummy bears!), and as a terrific addition to the night, I was one of three people to win a Kenneth Cole shopping spree- yippee! Stay tuned for more on what I pick soon.
