Compassion will always be in style. That’s why in an effort to lend a helping hand to Haiti, several retailers have donated proceeds of their sales and designed special edition Haiti-inspired pieces.

From a Ralph Lauren Haiti Relief Polo shirt to a Unique Vintage umbrella, these pieces will make you look and feel good all at the same time.

2-The CFDA

The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) designers have created a $25 “Fashion for Haiti” Men’s and Women’s T-shirt, which benefits the Clinton Bush Haiti fund. “The tragedy in Haiti has affected everyone and most of us individually have given money for relief,” said Diane von Furstenberg, CFDA president. “However, I think it is now important to send a message and create a channel for funding from fashion as an industry.” The shirt will be manufactured by Theory. Shop CFDA and the following retailers starting February 12: Carolina Herrera, Devi Kroell, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan International, Elie Tahari, Foley + Corinna, Generra, Giuseppe Zanotti, Intermix, Manolo Blahnik, Nanette Lepore, Ralphlauren.com, Rugby.com, Saks Fifth Avenue, Scoop, Tory Burch, Tracy Reese, Trina Turk and Zero + Maria Cornejo.

4-Diesel

Renzo Rosso (the founder and president of Diesel clothing) donated $250,000 to Yele Haiti, the foundation started by Grammy-award winning musician Wyclef Jean.  Renzo says, “I was deeply moved by the horrible tragedy in Haiti. I wanted to do something for the people and support the important work that Wyclef and his foundation have done and are doing for the island nation.”

That’s not all. Rosso’s heart has always been with helping the disadvantaged and that’s why he founded the Only the Brave Foundation in 2008, a non-profit aimed to empower and mobilize youth to end poverty. His donation to Yele Haiti will add up to another pledge to start an Only The Brave/ Yéle Haiti music studio in Cité Soleil, with the goal to use music and video production as a tool for social development.

5-Tracy Reese

Accomplished designer, Tracy Reese, was so deeply touched and moved by the human response to the Haiti crisis that she donated 10% of all the proceeds from the Tracy Reese boutique in Manhattan to American Red Cross during the weekend of January 15^th.  You can still make a donation directly to the American Red Cross here.

Since the 1980s, Edward Beiner has created eyewear coveted by some of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities from Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum to Alicia Keys and Lindsay Lohan. Beiner creates both regular and prescription shades, constantly offering something new and timeless to his famous clientele. The sunnies are classic yet possess a “cool” vibe that has everyone raving. The stylish shades are a hit among those fortunate enough to live in sunny South Florida, where the designer has seven locations.

Beiner knows that great sunglasses can’t just be chic, they also have to be practical and useful. He uses Eye Point Technology which stimulates the human eye and recreates perfect vision, meaning that only the most technologically-advanced lenses are used in his products.

Living in Miami, Beiner draws inspiration from the sunny skies that frequent Florida. Being a Brazilian native, the sun is no stranger to the designer. In a time when people were solely wearing sunglasses for corrective reasons, Beiner capitalized on their accessorizing capabilities and made his glasses fashion staples. The designer works with only the most skilled factories and artisans and the best materials in creating his dramatic, yet totally wearable eyewear. Upon looking at the collection, you can immediately draw in the Miami Art Deco lifestyle paired with classic elegance.

In a rough economy, Beiner’s collection is consistently growing, thanks to his true passion and niche in the eyewear industry. His stores offer his own collection alongside the likes of Chanel, Chrome Hearts and Cartier. It may still be winter, but Edward Beiner is making us long for the summer sun.
