A MAN WITH SOLE: THE IMPACT OF KENNETH COLE

Fashion designer, philanthropist and footwear purveyor Kenneth Cole knows his shoes.  He also appears to know the Native American directive to walk a mile in the moccasins of others, as proven through his 40 years of attention-grabbing strategies for merging commerce and compassion to raise awareness for causes including AIDS, homelessness and LGBTQIA+ rights.  From the glitter of the star-studded AIDS benefits he has mounted at the Cannes Film Festival to the humorous billboards in Times Square, Cole’s unique entrepreneurship sells a humanitarian message.  Emmy-winning director Berinstein delves into Cole’s history, his passion for social justice, and the brilliantly engaging promo that makes caring as cool as buying hot designer shoes.

Kenneth Cole and director Dori Berinstein will be present for audience discussion.
