Who better to launch a sporting collection than Maria Sharapova? I’m sure that’s what Cole Haan figured when they cast her as the star of their spring 2009 campaign.
The ads were shot in Malibu by Martyn Thompson, and extends the relationship between Cole Haan and Nike, the maker of their comfort shoe technology.
“The campaign marks the first time Cole Haan has collaborated with a Nike athlete to serve as the face of a new collection,” notes Cole Haan Chief Marketing Officer Michael Capiraso. “We are able to leverage her interest in fashion and sport, while connecting with our consumer in a new and unique way.”

Most of us think we’re giving our feet a break when we slip on flip flops for a majority of the summer, but apparently we’re wrong.
They’re so comfy compared to our sky-high heels we like to wear our thong and flat sandals as often as we can, and that’s the problem according to New York City podiatrist Dr. Oliver Zong.
According to Dr. Zong, “a soft-soled shoe generally does not allow the foot to naturally roll from heel to toe since it generally has a softer midfoot – and the lack of support will generally cause more injury then good.”
For more info and a comfortable sandal suggestion that’s good for your feet, keep reading.

Cole Haan is planning to celebrate its 80th anniversary with a seasonal collaborative series in 2008. They plan to work with designers from the fields of sculpture, architecture, industrial design, and jewelry – which is first up with Bing Bang designer Anna Sheffield. Bing Bang recently did a line of jewelry with Marc Jacobs, so will certainly bring some high-fashion cred to Cole Haan. Sheffield will be creating decorative jewelry accents, clasps, and closures for Cole Haan handbags and jewelry. This is a particularly interesting collaboration since Cole Haan’s accessories aren’t really known for a lot of embellishment or fancy hardware. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.

If you’ve ever tried to search for items found in In Style magazine on their Web site, as I often have in the past both for purchase or feature on this site, you might have had some difficulty. Many of the items were not available online, and when you called the number offered, you would be told to check your local such and such department store in two months, or something even more vague. We hoped that InStyle.com’s new Shopping feature would fix all that, but we’re not so sure.
Usually, items from their instantstyle section where they lay out outfits for a “winter getaway” for instance (page 99 of the December issue) were most easily searchable on their site. But the first three items I tried to shop for were not to be found in the bag selection offered from the December issue: a Cole Haan bag from page 99, a Fendi clutch from page 100, or a Doo Ri Chung bag from the Designer Lust List on page 126.

Edun designer Rogan Gregory, seen here with Bono and wife Ali Hewson, took home the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award at last night’s 7th on Sale gala. The ethical clothing designer has beaten out tough competition to win the $200,000 prize – like runners up Phillip Lim and jewelry designer Philip Crangi, who each recieved $50,000. Other finalists included Erin Fetherston, who will likely win in her own way with her Target collection, Scott Sternberg of Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian and Victoria Bartlett of VPL, and Angela Donhauser and Adi Gil of Threeasfour among others. This is the first year that a business advisory committee made up of presidents and CEOs of labels like Calvin Klein, Cole Haan, and Diane Von Furstenberg will provide guidance and advice for all finalists.
For some pictures of the winner’s fall collection, click over to the next page.
