Fashion PR

Marie Claire magazine has written an article about 15 designers who are not only top designers, but contribute and support causes. Ralph Lauren’s charity of choice is breast cancer and it is called The Pink Pony Fund and the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention. The Pink Pony Campaign represents the effort to bring adequate care to lower income communities. It is Lauren’s hope that women get screenings that help detect cancer earlier. Donatella Versace runs the Versace One Foundation which helped victims of the 2007 earthquake in China. Kenneth Cole’s charity is AmfAR which was developed to raise funds for Aid/HIV research and destigmatize the illness. Oscar de La Renta runs New Yorkers for Children which believes every child needs an education and the support of a family. Designers have become more well known for more than just the runway.
