Kenneth Cole will be honored with a Humanitarian Award at November's Islands of The World Fashion Week in Nassau The Bahamas. As we speak, I am working on my Spring 2009 NIKOLAKI Collection, which I will show there. I, for one, am delighted to be part of an event that will honor Kenneth Cole. Besides his obvious contribution to the fashion world, I have always been drawn to his always provocative ads and his determination to bring AIDS and AIDS awareness to the mainstream. Below is a typical stop-and-stare Kenneth Cole ad.
