.donnakaran and kennethcole, two iconic names in the New York fashion industry, have been working on the ground in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake, but this collection marks their first time joining forces.
Like most great ideas, this one started with a personal story: Three years ago, Karan purchased a pair of leather sandals with a plush rubber sole from Cole’s Gentle Souls line , and they instantly became her summer signature. “Everyone was constantly asking where I got my sandals,” she says. “They are seriously the most comfortable shoes in the entire world—they arecomfortable.
She called up Cole, who has also been working in Haiti for nearly a decade, to discuss a potential partnership. Cole and his team had been working with a group of artisans making shoes out of local materials, “but they were a little stiff and uncomfortable,” he admits. So Karan connected his team with Pascale Théard, a longtime Urban Zen partner and highly skilled local workshop owner.
