Michael Kors and his high-powered pals support World Hunger Day with a fundraiser, bilboard takeover and more
See the God’s Love we Deliver event photos »
Last week, designer Michael Kors used his influence to fight the global hunger crisis on official World Hunger Day (October 16). Together with the World Food Programme, the day began with a cleverly orchestrated digital takeover of the billboards at Times Square, which streamed content that raised awareness of his Watch Hunger Stop campaign. The initiative encouraged the world to participate by spreading the word through social media, donating to the cause and purchasing a Kors-designed watch whose sale would fund 100 meals through the World Food Programme.
The designer has also been a huge advocate for God’s Love We Deliver; an organization that prepares tailored meals for people with severe illnesses in the city he calls home. Last year, a $5 million donation he made helped in the renovation of the organization’s facility, which in recognition was re-named to “The Michael Kors Building.” God’s Love We Deliver held its annual Golden Heart Awards to cap off World Food Day with stars from film, fashion, and political circles coming together to celebrate notable community contributions.

Fashion news: Eau de Bruce Willis, Marc Jacobs’ book store, and Evan Biddell wants you to buy that dress you borrowed
Evan Biddell is tired of a culture of rampant dress-borrowing. He tweeted this morning: “ok ok, that was a little harsh, but 90% of my clients are Fabulous women, and if they are all borrowing outfits, I only sell 10% of the time.” Then he asks: “HOW IS THIS SUPPORTING CANADIAN FASHION??????????” His solution? “maybe its a matter of becoming organized? we could all have the same policy? you wear it, you buy it. sounds fair to me.” After all, exposure doesn’t mean much if it never turns into a sale. Biddell’s frustration may stem from this weekend’s Juno Awards–which will surely feature many borrowed frocks. He followed up his comments with “does anyone watch the canadian pop music awards anyways?” [Evan Biddell Twitter]
