WWD reports that Ralph Lauren is designing a line of limited edition pieces in a joint partnership between his own campaign, 'Fashion Targets Breast Cancer' and the Council of Fashion Designers of America/CFDA Foundation Inc. The first of the line, a limited edition shirt, is to be exclusively available at CFDA's new global partner, Net-a-porter.com, in September of this year.
Ralph Lauren is an avid supporter of breast cancer research, and explains that "in 1994, I challenged the fashion community to support Fashion Targets Breast Cancer when it was first getting started. What began as the answer to one woman's request has become a global initiative that has raised millions of dollars for breast cancer charities." His previous philantrophic efforts include the popular Pink Pony collection, which raises funds for "for cancer care and prevention." Looks hot - can't wait! In my opinion, designers embracing charity is far more newsworthy than celebs embracing design!
