Donna Karen Haitian Exhibition in Miami

The "Discover Haiti Exhibition" is currently running at the Little Haiti Cultural Center and will be ongoing for the next 2 months.
What is the "Discover Haiti Exhibition"?
It all started with Donna Karen appropriately flashing a handbag of hers that is as unique as the well-known designer herself. What makes it special is the material it is made of, paper-mache; the handbag represents Haiti's handmade carnival masks. The Little Haiti Cultural Center exhibition is full of art, accessories, and furnishings especially crafted by Haitian artisans. These creations are then sold by Karen's Urban Zen Foundation. Karen started this foundation after the death of her husband in 2001. She then focused the exhibition on Haitian culture after the earthquake a few years later.
 "She understands what we as a people, what we as a government, want to do with our art: show the world the riches of Haiti and commercialize it," said Haiti's consul general in Miami, Francois Guillaume. "But, we don't want to lose our identity. We don't want to lose whatever it is that makes Donna Karan like Haiti that much."

Dwayne Wade....NBA Style Icon?

NBA basketball star, Dwayne Wade, has a keen sense of style that looks quite impeccable when seen out and about. One of his last fits, worn during an interview after a playoff game, seems to be quite the head turner, none the less. Made from the well-known designer, Versace, this getup is one staple piece that is a hit or miss. What do you think? Did D-Wade pull this one off or completely miss by a long shot?
