Kenneth Cole: Timeless Provocateur
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 28: Kenneth Cole attends the 2024 CFDA Awards at American Museum of ... More Natural History on October 28, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Taylor Hill/WireImage) Everything Kenneth Cole does is intentional. Since 1982, Kenneth Cole has personified his tagline 'Always on Purpose' and has become synonymous with timeless style and edgy social awareness campaigns. He's considered the first designer to publicly support AIDS (when it was taboo to do so) and to implement corporate social responsibility before it was a chic, common practice. A neon sign reading 'WHAT MOVES YOU?'—in all caps—hangs in Kenneth Cole's office and appears behind him in several scenes from the new documentary A Man with Sole: The Impact of Kenneth Cole, directed by Dori Bernstein and the film aims to help us understand what motivates its central figure and why. In the film, the legendary Alan Cumming calls the designer a 'Punmeister' - a skill Cole displayed masterfully on the Tribeca X stage when asked by his brother-in-law Chris Cuomo about tariffs and how they affect business, Cole replied, 'People are Tarrified!' More Than A Tagline Cole is also a copy-master rooted in witty campaigns that make his customers think, not just buy. 'What you stand for is more important than what we stand in' one of his famed taglines is a life mantra, not a sales pitch. And when asked for advertising advice after a recent screening of the aforementioned film he said 'It's not what you do, but how you do it; and it's not what you say, but how you say it.' Kenneth Cole has never been afraid to be controversial for non-commecial campaigns that provoke public consciousness. The film explores many examples like the 'We all have AIDS' campaign: 'We're all affected even if we're not infected.' In another groundbreaking Kenneth Cole campaign for AIDS prevention, a lone, clear, and unlabeled condom is photographed in black and white with the words: 'Shoes aren't the only thing we encourage you to wear.' This statement rocked the world at a time when advertising condoms simply wasn't allowed. Cole's socially-focused ads for AIDS Awareness reached 1 billion people before the advent of social media. When asked how social media has changed things. He said: 'I think today you have a lot more people trying to do what you're doing, and it's so much easier to reach them, so you just have to break through the noise. And if you can do it, you can, essentially, reach everybody everywhere in days.' To take back his full creative vision and freedom—and for greater efficiency (he admits that answering to boards and shareholders was time-consuming)—he bought back his once publicly traded company in 2012 for reportedly a little more than $15 a share. At the time, the company was said to be worth $280 million and now more than 10 years later, is said to have a $1 billion valuation. In his more than 30 years working with amfAR, 14 years as chairman, he was able to get AIDS research out of silos and unite the 2000+ AIDS orgs 'so they were no longer tripping over each other.' Similarly, his work as founder and chairman with the Mental Health Coalition is also helping organizations to talk to each other and work together. In the '90s, to tackle homelessness, Kenneth Cole stores started a shoe drive; giving customers a 20% discount to anyone that brought shoes into the store for donation. This resulted in a whopping two million pairs of shoes donated. Kenneth Cole doesn't see fighting for homelessness, AIDS, LGBTQ communities, women, or gun control, or mental health, as political but a social and moral imperative and a deeper way to engage with the public. In fact, I first met the evergreen designer and his equally civically-minded wife, Maria Cuomo, at an early screening of a film they co-produced. The film follows the survivors of the deadliest school shooting in history, the Parkland School. He says it was 'Maria's baby', but the poetry-laden and trauma-filled short film Death By Numbers was nominated for an Oscar this year. While it may have been helmed by Maria, the themes of the film are certainly aligned with Kenneth's stance on gun control. NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 05: Kenneth Cole and Maria Cuomo Cole attend the 2017 CFDA Fashion Awards at ... More Hammerstein Ballroom on June 5, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by) Brand Longevity Longevity in an industry as fleeting as fashion, such as Kenneth Cole, does not happen without brand trust. He's come a long way from the day he parked his truck full of shoes from Italy to sell; and now that he's decades established, he shared how things have evolved from the early truck days: 'I still don't take anything for granted every day, I know I have to figure it out and even after 40 some-odd years, every day to exist in this business, right? I do think that I have earned the right only to be considered, but every day after… that is unique in every part in this business. So I have a little bit of an advantage, but I've got to work and that's what also makes it so exciting. I have to be relevant. And being relevant is the ultimate filter. We have to be agile so that we can continue to stay relevant. How you will create a relationship with the consumer. How do you make it as meaningful as you can, genuine, meaningful, and consistent? That's a task that we contemplate all the time, what's meaningful today may be less so tomorrow, and it's meaningful in New York, maybe less so in Des Moines. And so how do you how do you tell your story? We stand for what's in the body, what's on the mind. How do we connect with you in a more sustainable, efficient way, and how do we connect the dots? I feel privileged to be able to continue to deliver, and it's something we deal with every day.' The Man Himself Kenneth Cole as a brand has become its own grandiose entity, and so to meet the human man, behind all the brilliance, was jarring at first. Especially when the man himself was so unassuming and humble. Most famous people cannot walk down the street without being stopped. Kenneth's brand and name is bigger and more recognizable than his face that it gives him more freedom than most. He says: 'I'm very conscious about separating the man from the brand, and the brand is definitely bigger than the man. They're not always associated with each other. One, I can walk down the street more often than not having my own privacy, but I can also get a reservation at most restaurants.' The Future Beyond storytelling and a long history of philanthropy, I believe Kenneth Cole and his labels endure because they are not swayed by trends, fads, or what's momentarily popular. They design clothes, shoes, and accessories that are wardrobe staples—pieces that would still look stylish and elegant 50 years from now. At the same time, the brand remains open to exploring the next frontier. When I asked Cole his thoughts about fashion for people with disabilities, a population that as I have shared before, many do not realize desperately need access to clothing especially professional wear or shoes,—I expected a philosophical response about the broader concept. Instead, his reply was strikingly honest and action-oriented, reflecting just how committed he is to making an impact. 'I have a lot to learn. I have a personal disability myself which I disclose for the first time in this film. I don't know how I can bring value to that market right now. I don't know what it would take, so it can be sustainable. Can you do it at a cost that's realistic, and can you do it in a way that's meaningful?' These are all valid questions and while one's first impression meeting Kenneth Cole is that he's laid-back, humble, and fun; when it comes to important things, he's very serious and strategic with regard to impact. This is why the title of the film about him feels just. A Man with Sole: The Impact of Kenneth Cole Official Film Poster Looking Back and Forward What was it like for him to reflect back on his history and philanthropy? He says he was too busy taking action to reflect in the moment, but that seeing the film retrospective through his family's eyes was touching: 'They've seen it all come full-circle what made it special for me, the film I don't need to tell my family, that I lived amfAR for almost 30 years, 14 years as chair; but I don't think anybody realized the impact that we made there.' But his impact does not stop with AmFAR or the many accomplishments detailed in the must-see film about his influence. He is still fighting an epidemic that too many don't speak about publicly and few address head on: mental health. 'I'm very immersed in the Mental Health Coalition. I completely believe we can change lives. We can get rid of the devastating stigma…you know, WHO says one in four people are affected. We say support for us, visiting you with somebody you love exactly, the family or the community to work with, but everybody is impacted by this, and stigma is what makes it so paralyzing, and because two thirds of those who are impacted do so in shadows, because they're afraid, they don't know a path forward to help them navigate.' And what has Cole learned since founding the Mental Health Coalition almost 5 years ago? He says, he's learned a lot: 'I am humbled to have been able to bring together some of the most respected experts in the mental health field and some of the most influential creative leaders to join forces to end the stigma surrounding mental health and to change the way people talk about, and care for, mental illness. There have been challenges but it has been so inspiring to see so many organizations and leaders work together to build something that is greater than the sum of our parts.' Working 33 years with amfAR, he helped the organization to raise $120 million. He fought to break down silos and eliminate duplicative AIDS research by encouraging scientists to share data publicly. He applied a similar approach to mental health through his work with the Mental Health Coalition. Just as he once argued that AIDS affects everyone, he now emphasizes that mental health does too. A portion of the sale from every Kenneth Cole product goes to the Mental Health Coalition. So far, the coalition has launched programs such as SOS (for kids' online safety), Teenspace, and Wellness at Work. Vision, Vulnerability, and Lessons Learned With so many initiatives and his responsibilities, how does Kenneth Cole see leadership? He takes a service-oriented approach sharing: 'Leadership is about standing for something greater than yourself. It's about using your platform—whether it's a company, a brand, or your voice—to spark conversation, and to do what's right, even when it's not easy. For over 40 years, I have tried to create a culture where purpose and profit are not mutually exclusive, where every decision reflects our values. I encourage my team to think differently, to take risks, and to see challenges as opportunities to make a difference. My goal has been to create a place where cause and commerce can not only coexist but can intersect in a meaningful way.' Mentioned toward the end of the film, but not expounded upon, Kenneth disclosed his FSHD diagnosis - a form of muscular dystrophy. I asked him how FSHD had changed his perspective or lifestyle in any way, and what he has learned from the experience. Cole shared: 'I think it has helped me understand what it's like dealing with things you can't control. I have realized that you can make a difference, if you set out to make a difference, and I have found strength in being vulnerable.' Until you meet him or see him on screen, it can be hard to believe that the man behind an Oz-like curtain is, in fact, a real person. This makes vulnerability from him especially powerful. We need more vulnerability in the world and we need more Kenneth Coles - though there's certainly only one. He shows us how one man with a clear vision can instigate seismic positive change. He may be unassuming, but there's nothing passive about Kenneth Cole. A purpose-driven life seems to be what truly moves him; the only thing perhaps more enduring than his sought-after style is his proactive, soul-powered integrity—timeless, tireless, and always at work. A Man with Sole: The Impact of Kenneth Cole is now playing in Los Angeles at the Landmark Nuart Theatre with more markets nationwide to follow.

New Pathfinder And Starfinder Books Pave The Way To Gen Con
Treasure Vault is one of four books ready to expand your Pathfinder and Starfinder adventures It's shaping up to be a big summer for tabletop games publisher Paizo with two big releases slated for Gen Con. The long awaited mass battle rules for Pathfinder Second Edition Remastered will be at the show. The new edition of Starfinder, which premiered as a playtest last year, will arrive in its final form as well. There's no rest for the wicked goblins at Paizo. There are books that have come out that expand options for players and Game Masters. Here are some highlights within these recent releases with thanks to the company for providing review copies for this article. Pathfinder Second Edition Remastered Lost Omens: Rival Academies The popularity of fantasy stories like Harry Potter have made wizarding schools a popular choice as a campaign setup. It makes sense to follow first level spellcasters as freshman through their graduation and beyond. Schools are chock full of potential allies and rivals that can cause drama in between dungeon runs. Lost Omens: Rival Academies provides six schools for playes to use along with the personalities that make each school unique. They have different focuses and philosophies that get into the intrigues of wizards for any game. There's even a runelord archetype for players who want to dip their toes into the dark side of villainous magic users that have been around since the beginning of the game. I really enjoyed the Convocation section which brings together the schools for a sort of convention and competition. There's a lot of politics and intrigue to explore here. It shows that Pathfinder doesn't have to be dungeon crawls all the time. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Pathfinder Second Edition Remastered NPC Core One of the joys of classic fantasy games is flipping through the monster book for inspiration. Sometimes it's to beef up an encounter while other times a neat monster with a clever ability can inspire a new story on its own. But what about obstacles of a less fire breathing nature? The NPC Core book focuses on humanoid adversaries from goblin raiders to infernal bureaucrats. Each entry comes with a full write up plus lore, setting information and special rules to challenge players above and beyond their usual battle tactics. These NPCs are perfect for city and town encounters. I'm glad Paizo decided to split this off into a separate book. Mundane adversaries like these often get a quick mention in the back because monsters are naturally more interested. Here, normal people the players encounter get a little more focus to help them connect with players and make story hooks more engaging. Pathfinder Second Edition Remastered Treasure Vault As Pathfinder Second Edition books go out of print, Paizo is taking the opportunity to bring them fully in line with their remaster project. Guns & Gears was the first of these books that updated some of the steampunk elements of the game. The inventor and gunslinger classes were refitted to make sure they interacted with everything else propeller. The most recent expansion to get this treatment is Treasure Vault. This book contains a dragon's hoard worth of magical items from the tiniest consumable to legendary relics. Players love getting new toys to play with and these are the newest. There are crafting rules in here that go into a little more depth for players that want to build their own epic sword than buy one from the local blacksmith. I really enjoyed the narrative questing rules for crafts and the advice on how to turn a magic item into something the players earn. There are some great examples that pair well with iconic monsters to slay. Starfinder Galaxy Guide Starfinder Second Edition officially released next month. But, thanks to the playtest, most fans have a good idea of what's coming in the core books. The last book on our list offers a bridge between the two eras of the game. The first official Starfinder Second Edition hardcover release is Galaxy Guide. For old fans, it catches up what's been going on in the setting with solid summaries of story points like the Drift Crisis and the Newborn. That also makes this a great jumping on point for new fans, too. The book contains six ancestries, which are my favorite thing in Starfinder. While I'm glad the new edition can easily port over ones from Pathfinder, the ones here embrace a fun sci-fi feel right out of Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm definitely going to make a character with the giant floating brain aliens called speculatives out of this book.

Rosie O'Donnell reveals she was 'very depressed' and 'overdrinking' after first Trump win
Print Close By Marc Tamasco Published June 26, 2025 Rosie O'Donnell told former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo that she was "very depressed" and "overdrinking" following President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 on "The Chris Cuomo Project" podcast on Tuesday. O'Donnell revealed that she left the United States for Ireland out of a sense of "self-preservation" after Trump's second election victory, considering the difficulties she experienced after his first win in 2016. "During his first go-round, it was very difficult, and I got myself into some bad places. You know, I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking … I was so depressed, Chris," she told the former cable host. ROSIE O'DONNELL WAS 'SHOCKED' THAT TRUMP'S ELECTION MADE ELLEN DEGENERES FLEE THE US She also shared that it hurt her heart to know that Americans "believed the lies" of Trump and, furthermore, that she worked in a business that "sells those lies for profit." Another reason O'Donnell listed for leaving the U.S. was to ensure that she could be a "good parent" to her 12-year-old child. "Coming to Ireland was totally a way to take care of myself and my non-binary autistic child, who's going to need services and help and counseling and all the things that he's [Trump is] threatening to cut in his horrible plan of the big, beautiful bill," she stated. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Later in their discussion, Cuomo recalled telling O'Donnell after Trump's first victory that "this is going to affect you a lot more than it's going to affect him," and asked how moving to Ireland has impacted her life. She told Cuomo that she enjoys the fact that people in Ireland typically don't approach celebrities the way they do in America, and also noted that she feels safe considering there's no "MAGA support" in the country. O'Donnell related an experience she had in Ireland where an older man bought her a pint of Guinness after she told him that she had left the U.S. because of Trump being elected. She contrasted this with a story from the U.S., where the entertainer and her child were allegedly mocked in a CVS store after Trump won the 2024 election.
