First Look - Spring/Summer 2010 Manifesto tote from Yves Saint Laurent

Fashion Week is only two days away which means that New York City is going to be hot for the days to come, regardless of the storm watch. If you have ever been to Bryant Park during Fashion Week, then you are familiar with the
YSL Manifesto bags that are given away for free!!


With every season comes a different bag, so take a look that the Spring/Summer 2010 Manifesto tote from Yves Saint Laurent. These totes will make their debut on the streets of New York on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, followed by a worldwide release on Saturday, February 20 in the streets of New York City – followed by Paris, London, Milan, Tokyo, Hong Kong and, for the first time, Berlin.


This Manifesto – the sixth edition, was photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin under the creative direction of Stefano Pilati, and features Natalia Vodianova in the Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2010 collection. In a spirited gesture of generosity and democracy, like past seasons about half a million copies of the Manifesto will be distributed globally and to the first 2,000 passerby in each city with a custom cotton tote bag designed by Pilati.


The limited edition Manifesto tote will feature two luscious pixilated strawberry prints on the front and back surrounded by a white background. I can’t wait to get my hands on one – or maybe two (evil grin)! Destination Fashion Week here we come!

Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief - Haiti NYC

Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief’s charity fashion show and auction, is back at this year’s Fall 2010 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. On the evening of February 12th at 7:00 PM, the star-studded runway show and auction will be held in aid of CARE to raise crucial funds towards rebuilding Haiti’s healthcare system for mother and children. The runway show will be hosted by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and will feature internationally recognized designers, celebrities and VIPs. All the donated garments will be auctioned online at NET-A-PORTER starting February 15th. The donation is tax deductible and 100% of the event ticket sales will benefit CARE.



Fashion For Relief will bring together, on the catwalk, top international faces of fashion, music, film, TV, sports and society. The show will feature glamorous clothes by the world's most renowned and respected fashion designers.


Naomi Campbell says, "I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Haiti. So many have been killed and severely affected by the earthquake - women and children in particular are most vulnerable in disasters. Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone. Our aim is to use this season’s catwalk shows in New York to reach people and help raise crucial funds to help save the lives of women and children.”


This show is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the thrill of a world class fashion show up close and personal, while supporting an extremely important and worthy cause. Funds raised at Fashion For Relief will be used directly to help rebuild the Haitian healthcare system for mothers and babies.
