At the 38th annual FN Achievement Awards ceremony, to be held Dec. 4 in New York, veteran footwear designer Kenneth Cole will be recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award, an honor that has previously been bestowed on designers and executives including Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Sam and Libby Edelman, Bruce Nordstrom and Vince Camuto.
Cole and his namesake company have been an industry fixture for more than 40 years.
Throughout his career, Cole has used his platform to support a range of social justice movements, most recently focusing on ending mental health stigmas. In 20...more19, Cole helped to found The Mental Health Coalition, a large-scale effort aimed at bringing together influential nonprofits, businesses, brands, celebrities and influencers in a coordinated effort to destigmatize mental health conditions. The company has prioritized wellness outside its business with charitable collection drops, as well as internally through employee programs.
The designer has also been known for his eye-brow-raising ads that have tackled controversial topics such as gun reform, the Iraq war, AIDS epidemic, climate change and much more. “You can change your outfit, you can outfit change,” has been one of the brand’s go-to taglines, for instance.
“That’s the ultimate challenge,” Cole told FN in September 2023. “How do we do what we do in the ordinary course and connect it to something bigger? And that’s something I’ve tried to do for 40 years, and still try to do.”
It’s a big year for Cole. Earlier this month, his documentary, “A Man with Sole: The Impact of Kenneth Cole,” premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival. The doc explores his life, career and activism.
In 2019, Cole and Donna Karan were honored with the Icon Award for Social Impact winners at the FNAAs for their philanthropic work with Haiti. Through Karan’s Urban Zen retail concept and Cole’s Gentle Souls footwear label, the duo debuted a shoe collection featuring 10 Haitian-inspired looks made by a group of the country’s artisans.
Cole will join more soon-to-be announced winners at the 2024 FNAAs on Dec. 4 in New York....

The Republican candidate has indicated that RFK Jr. would “take care of health,” while the Tesla CEO would work on cutting government spending
Donald Trump has confirmed that he will give Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “influential” positions in his government if he wins the upcoming presidential election.
During an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at a campaign event in Arizona on Thursday, Trump was asked whether Kennedy or Musk would become key figures in his administration, shoul...mored he be reelected on November 5.
“Yeah, I do. I think so,” the former president responded. He noted, however, that Musk has indicated that he “doesn’t want to become a secretary of something” and instead wants to focus on finding ways to reduce waste in government spending.
“He thinks he can cut $2 trillion without affecting anybody, and I think he can do it,” Trump said. “He wants to cut costs, he wants to save the country.”
Despite initially proclaiming political neutrality, Musk officially endorsed Trump earlier this year and has become a major supporter of the former president in his bid to secure a second term in office. Trump has promised the Tesla CEO that he would establish a special “government efficiency” commission, dubbed DOGE, which would be headed by the billionaire if he wins the election.
Speaking at a Trump campaign event in New York last week, Musk suggested that he could reduce the annual federal budget by “at least $2 trillion,” claiming that American taxpayers’ money was “being wasted.”

Tucker Carlson interviews Donald Trump ahead of election: As it happened
Regarding Kennedy, Trump told Carlson that he wanted the former Democrat – who ran as an independent in this year’s presidential race before dropping out and backing Trump – to “work on health” and “take care” of the US population.
“He’s right with so much of the things he’s talking about, because you know, we’re not a healthy country,” Trump said.
Earlier this week, Kennedy himself confirmed that Trump had promised him a role in his administration, noting that while he would not be leading any government agencies, he would likely play a part in choosing who does as a senior adviser of some sort.
Trump transition team co-chair Howard Lutnic also said on Wednesday that Kennedy would not head the Health and Human Services department if Trump is reelected.
Trump had previously also applauded Kennedy’s decades of work as an advocate for the health of American families and children, and had indicated that he would establish a “panel of top experts” that would work with him to investigate “what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases” in the US....
Pharrell Williams is back with his latest men’s collection for Louis Vuitton, and this time, it’s for the dogs.
According to the French luxury house, the spring/summer 2025 men’s pre-collection by Williams is an ode to “the cosmopolitan culture of dogs and the humans that walk them.” The offering in this collection is “a study of the discerning mentality of the canine-keeping city lifestyle,” the company added in a release on Thursday.
As for the collection’s shoes, Williams adapted elements of the dog’s wardrobe into an array of eye-catching details. Standout styles include the LV Trainer...more Maxi that’s rendered in bright green tennis-ball suede as well as Dalmatian-print ponyskin, a motif echoed in the intarsia shearling of an LV Footprint low boot.
Other dog-gone styles include a Dog Collar Loafer in black or burgundy glazed leather that’s adorned with a metal dog-collar buckle, and the return of the Mary-Jane that features aged leather with stud adornment inspired by those of dog collars and a Damier-infused LV Checker sole.
There’s also the brand’s signature LV Trainer in a reworked version in brown, black or white ultra-supple vintage-effect leather with a deconstructed sensibility, alongside a new lighter and more technical version of the LV Runner Tatic inspired by hiking.
Plus, there’s a loafer in black glazed leather with a necklace-inspired buckle and the Western-inspired LV Rider boot that features pull-on straps embellished with gold-toned studs and a heel that’s accessorized with three monogram flower motifs.
Alongside the collection’s shoe offering is a range of apparel, bags and accessories that range all the way from a $60,000 kennel trunk to the $5,400 Pooch bag in the shape of a cute canine friend.
Consumers interested in seeing the full offering in person can check it out at Louis Vuitton’s pop-up shoe at 104 Prince Street in SoHo. Open now through early December, the space has been transformed into an homage of all things canine using the dress codes of dog shows, a tradition informed by English heritage sports.
According to the brand, New York City is the only location globally with a dedicated spring/summer 2025 men’s pre-collection pop-up, and it offers the full breadth of the collection including dog accessories and rare dog-centric hardsided pieces as well as the option to engrave personalized dog tags.
