Kenneth Cole: Reaction and Unlisted

Kenneth Cole Reaction is just one of the lines of shoes, clothing and accessories sold by Kenneth Cole Productions, New York, NY. If Kenneth Cole Productions sounds more like a motion picture company than a clothing manufacturer, well, there’s an interesting story behind the name. When Kenneth Cole, who once studied law at Emory University Law School, reverted back to his family’s business of shoe making, he developed a line of shoes and wanted to sell them in the nation’s fashion capitol of New York City. One problem: Cole couldn’t afford the cost of a New York hotel convention room where he could display his product.

Kenneth Cole is known as an American clothing designer. He designs clothing, accessories and shoes that fit men and women of all styles. Kenneth Cole Productions sells clothing and accessories under the following lines: Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, and Unlisted. His products have a rugged, determined, get-the-job-done look that is at the same time classy and sophisticated.

Unlisted and Kenneth Cole Reaction are two popular brands of ladies shoes. The heels and platforms are often strong and sturdy. These shoes represent exquisite style and genuine fashion. The Unlisted Brand offers every style in at least a size 10. The Kenneth Cole Reaction brand offers a large variety of size 11 women’s shoes.

Couple more brands are set to launch in India soon. Inditex Group (which owns Zara) and Trent Limited (retail arm of Tata Group) have extended their joint venture agreement to open Massimo Dutti in India. Massimo Dutti is aimed at shoppers with a different sartorial taste, those seeking sophistication, elegance and high-quality fashion.

Kenneth Cole will open five stores in India over the next three years, after their licensing agreement with Reliance Brands. Reliance Brands will also handle the brand’s premium wholesale distribution. The longer-term plan includes around 25 stores over the next eight years. Kenneth Cole stores will stock with men’s and women’s footwear, clothing and accessories under the Kenneth Cole New York and the Kenneth Cole Reaction labels.

Kenneth Cole Volunteers in Haiti

Designer and activist Kenneth Cole visits Haiti and distributes shoes to children in need. This trip follows a nationwide shoe drive and retail program, through AWEARNESS, The Kenneth Cole Foundation that ran from August 3rd 2011 to September 16th 2011. All told, the initiative raised more than $140K through customer donations and accumulated more than 3,000 pair of shoes. The donations will go to help build a community wellness center in Haiti to provide services for the local community in need.

In collaboration with Soles4Souls, top Kenneth Cole fund-raising associates from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Seattle, and D.C. participated on the ground in Haiti engaging in volunteer work and shoe distributions at local orphanages and community schools.

“Over the last 18 years our company has collected more than 1.5 million pairs of shoes for the needy. Although the press and cameras are gone, the needs of this devastated Haitian community remain. Hopefully this has played a small role in helping the many less fortunate.” says Kenneth Cole.

AWEARNESS promotes, encourages and inspires meaningful social change, and supports like-minded Change Agents and organizations to make a difference. We also sell products and host events in support of their important causes. As part of each partnership, an AWEARNESS “Change Agent” is selected, and their story of social activism is highlighted to inspire others to get involved.
