Classic lifestyle brand Nautica takes some of its signature looks and translates them into looks meant to be layered with its fall 2012 collection. Featuring some of the season’s best hues from chocolate brown to a deep cobalt shade paired with assertive khaki, these pieces will easily meld into staples of your existing wardrobe.

As a sidenote, the brand recently raised a remarkable $125,000 to benefit their new charitable campaign, Give Change to Make Change, in order to fund clean water projects in developing nations. It was launched on World Water Day (March 22, 2012) because of Nautica’s deep ties with water and the inspiration the natural resource gives to the brand.

Suno Sneakers: Giving Back to Kenya

by

Prints are popping up all over for spring, so why not try them on your feet? The Limited Edition SUNO Sneakers ($65) are owning this trend in their kanga-inspired prints, as colorful as they are powerful.

SUNO is a New York-based womenswear label that offers a global view of the luxury world in an exciting way. Both sneaker styles, classic tennis shoes and the lace-up, are produced in Kenya with soles made from entirely recycled rubber. For every pair purchased, a portion of proceeds will be donated to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a Kenyan orphanage for baby rhinos and elephants (how cute!). Available in sizes 5-11.

The Made in Polaroid 50/50/50 Art Exhibit & Benefit Auction

by

[Poloarid by JoKa , en titled “Do You See Me, Like I See You?]

What do you get when 50 of today’s top artists are given creative freedom and innovative technology to aid their gift?  Polaroid poised this question when they provided 50 Gl10 Instant Mobile Printers, a device said to be like a “portable photo booth in the palm of your hand,” to 50 artists (ranging from James Franco to Cynthia Rowley and Tory Burch) to create 50 unique works of art.  The iconic brand is hosting the Made in Polaroid Art Exhibit, open to the public at Milk Studios from September 7th-13th and a charity auction on September 14th at Philips de Pury on Park Ave.  All proceeds from the auction will benefit Free Arts NYC, a non-profit organization that “provides arts and mentoring programs to under-served children.”  Celebrities, fashion designers, photographers and musicians alike are united in their “go anywhere, print anywhere, and share” philosophy.  For further information and a sneak peek at some of the art, visit www.polaroid.com and www.philipsdepury.com.
