A MAN WITH SOLE: THE IMPACT OF KENNETH COLE opens tomorrow! Be here opening night for post-screening Q&A with global fashion icon and activist @kennethcolereal.bsky.social + director Dori Berinstein.

“When social media posts from the president are aimed at Harvard—because apparently he’s taking a short break from the serious business of maligning Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift.” (Line from @nytimes editorial. Yes, really.) #CommanderInBeef

Another day in the life of: (Picking up theater tickets at a box office) TICKET AGENT: Is your name really Kenneth Cole? ME: It is. TICKET AGENT: I used to wear his stuff when I was cooler.  ME: So did I.  TICKET AGENT: Is he still alive? ME: I believe so.

Decades of acclaim. Beloved by millions… with an Oscar, a Tony, Golden Globe, & countless Grammys… But true validation finally comes for Bruce from the ultimate connoisseur, music critic, and wannabe “Boss”…on Truth Social…

Thinking about my mother and Sending wishes to all the moms who raised us, rescued us, inspired us, loved and tolerated us—in heels. thank you. #HappyMothersDay #Gratitude

If you’re reading this, and I have any followers left, I guess our democracy is still technically functioning?

Reflecting on all I ate last week, between Passover & Easter, and happy to report that my socks still fit.

Almost 15 yrs later… so much that we took for granted, we don’t today. (1 step forward 10 back). Paying Taxes is apparently the only privilege we can rely upon. #TaxDay

Thinking outside the box is harder when you’re in one… #iftheshoefits #anoriginalKen

Words of wisdom

There’s been rumors about an (unnamed) designer becoming another year older today. I’ve reached out for comment: “No birthday this year. Not feeling it.” Aging—postponed until further notice. #FalseAlarm

Goal for today; Expect nothing & appreciate everything.

A reminder this Women’s History Month. #iftheshoefits

Preparing for another traumatic & nonsensical week. Wishing all a Fuckin great nights sleep. We’ll need it…

In honor of Intl #WomensDay, I decided to share an old KC billboard that still rings true.

Look out…the fashion business has become difficult to navigate these days… made a bit easier with daughter-powered clothing racks… @siremilycole.bsky.social

In what context is wardrobe really relevant… in any other business than mine?

As #BlackHistoryMonth comes to an end, I salute 2 AIDS activists and true heroes in the Civil Rights Movement. Both larger than life (despite photo), Archbishop Desmond Tutu who along with Mandela led the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa...

Thought I’d share another anonymous encounter… this time at a fancy local restaurant: MAITRE D; What is your name sir? ME; Kenneth Cole MAITRE D; Spelled the same as the designer? ME; I believe so.

Recalling a message from an old friend; “never ever go to bed at night knowing that there was something you could have done during the day to strike a blow against injustice and you didn’t do it.” — Harry Belafonte #BlackHistoryMonth #SleeplessInNY

Social impact has always been an integral part of the Kenneth Cole brand. I’ve believed that our voice is our greatest accessory, and that it’s vital that we use our platform to serve the community.

My new favorite word is: ‘Procaffeination’ ; the act of putting off life until you have had a cup of coffee.

So many are being unfairly tough on POTUS. Do you know how hard it is to alienate every one of our 50+ year allies in just 20 days…? #AmericaFirst & alone.

As the years go by, I’m still grateful to call you my Valentine. #HappyValentinesDay ♥️

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to remember, reflect on, and celebrate the iconic #NelsonMandela. He inspired an entire generation and was a beacon of hope for so many. I had the honor of working with him in our “We All Have AIDS” campaign in 05’. #ForeverInspired

The goal today is to stay fit and delusional… (KC 1990) #styleadvice

Spotted this intersection while skiing at @deervalley.bsky.social recently. Sometimes, we’re forced to take the low/high road, and sometimes the road to nowhere…??

I don’t know if anything can be truly fulfilling if it isn’t at some level meaningful.. #noteToSelf

For the 20th year, #Sundance has allowed this unknown young designer to be the official brand for the volunteers…he is the one that is not Kenneth Cole. Calling all volunteers to post your #KennethCole jacket pics and tag the designer.

As has been said: You have ONLY 2 things to do today; DECIDE what you want to get done, and DO IT.

As you analyze your “cost of living”…

Some morning wisdom; If trying to get into shape: I'm told that "Running Late", doesn't count as exercise.

An absurd question asked in 2011, seemed much more so… just a week ago.

This Undocumented immigrant shit is crazy. They have a lower % of criminal activity than their Amer counterparts & contribute an Est $400-600B to US economy annually… (including; labor force, payment of taxes, & contrib to SS & Medicare). & most Amer’s dont want 80% of the jobs they do.

Such a refreshing message at such a vital moment in time. Watch and share.

An unsolicited assessment of the world; The less educated fear our differences, & The more educated fear our indifference…

Today we bid farewell to Cecile Richards, a tireless champion, for repro rights. The irony of her passing on this Inauguration Day is meaningful. Her legacy stands as both a beacon and a call to action. Rest in power, Cecile - Your work and impact has continued to inspire and will endure…

Just as so much of our humanity is being challenged, i’m learning to never underestimate people’s ability to not give a damn, when a damn must be given…

A favorite adage; The richest man is not who has the most but who needs the least.

If we don’t stay the course with DEI, so much of what matters will DIE.

Reluctant to begin the day… I love the sound of nobody speaking.

In preparation of a year to remember, wishing all a wonderfully boring and uneventful New Years Eve. 😴😴😴

In 1975 a young intern from NY was offered a job in his office. He is forever grateful and inspired. Thank you #PresidentCarter for your decency, your integrity and your life’s example. #RestinPeace #emoryuniversity

Checking in at airport; ATTENDANT; Is your name really Kenneth Cole? ME; yes ATTENDANT; very cool. Do you wear his stuff? ME; often #ADayInTheLife

Life is short... NOBODY can offend us. To be offended, is a choice we alone make. #styleadvice

If you said something on X, and nobody saw it, did you say it? And if yes, is it still offensive?
