Cole Haan launches Pinch Apparel

Can’t make it to Kennebunkport this summer? Cole Haan has you (and your gal) covered.

The footwear, bag and accessories brand, which was founded in 1928, has just launched its first apparel collection, Pinch Apparel, which is inspired by all things Maine–including lobsters hence its name and red crustacean logo.

The first offering, which is currently sold at the brand’s standalone stores and its website, consists of items for men and women. Mostly tops, the men’s selection consists of a zip hoodie in gray or navy ($98), a nautical crew neck striped long sleeve shirt ($88), two variations of a logo-graphic T-shirt ($38), a one-pocket T-shirt in white, gray or navy ($38), a short sleeve polo in solid blue, white or gray or striped heather gray and navy ($68), a Kennedyesque cotton-linen collared shirt in white or light blue ($88) and a navy and white striped stretch swim trunk ($78) that is meant to be a stylish antidote to brash and baggy boardshorts.

A similar selection of Pinch tops is available for women.

In addition, Cole Haan has created new bright and bold colorways for its iconic Pinch Weekender penny loafer model this summer, which features a flexible Grand.OS sole ($78 to $98). The preppy, prismatic footwear assortment includes models made with fabric, twill, canvas or leather in modern-day updates of a shoe that first appeared–and hit it big–on college campuses in the 1950s. The style’s broad color palette ranges from a poppy-pink and chestnut model to a more subdued and traditional black and brown one.

Pinterest Launches PinterestTV With Christian Siriano

Pinterest is the social media choice for those of us who think visually. It’s a great way to share and combine ideas, especially when we live in the "picture is worth a thousand words” world of the internet. Planning the interior of your new camper van? Start a board, follow a few Pinners, add some pins of your own, and you’ll be headed cross-country in no time. Creating a mood board for a graphics project at work? Planning a holiday menu? Pinterest is the place to be. It has also become a great way to shop for some of the specific things that may catch your interest on somebody else’s board. 

On November 8, Pinterest launched its latest project, Pinterest TV.  Like many of those pins, it’s also shoppable; but similar to your favorite self-improvement/do-it-yourself cable network, this is a series of live, original episodes, each around half an hour, that features creators and influencers like Olympic diver Tom Daley, Apartment Bartender Elliott Clark, and 2008 Project Runway winner and Council of Fashion Designers of America member, designer Christian Siriano. Siriano is hosting an exclusive, shoppable series titled Christian On. Each week, he’ll choose a phrase from a list of the most searched fashion terms on Pinterest and show viewers the tools they need to bring them to life. The live show, where Siriano gets to show the world what he loves about fashion, interior design, and style, airs on Pinterest every Monday at 6:00 pm.
Christian’s first two episodes have already aired. The first, on November 8, discussed his plans for the segment, as well as what inspires him for the fall season as he’s creating his collection from colors to trends to personalities. (His second episode segment was about wedding gowns: Maybe not our particular interest, but it was fun to watch him interact with friends and viewers via the channel’s chat.)
