Thou Shalt Covet This

Form plus function; times eco-consciousness equals Tara St. James' line, Covet. Bamboo, organic cotton, soybean rayon and natural dyes are just a few of the elements that make Covet stand out in a world filled with unpronounceable frankenfabrics. Tara has been described as "a beacon of light in the dark, jagged landscape of the fashion industry (Discerning Brute)."

Covet's got more fashion and eco cred than you can shake a stick at so you'll want to get your hands on these two offerings from Ladies Lotto's Charity Water benefit auction.

Covet this line, not clean water.

Drive Me Crazy

Amanda Dolan's vibrant, loud and in your face collages have put collectors and art lovers on notice. In 2008, Amanda's second show Call Me Crazy was something of a year book; highlighting several pioneering women including Cyndi Lauper, Joan of Arc and the pin-ups pin up, Bettie Page.

Amanda has graciously donated Bettie Page to Ladies Lotto's Charity Water benefit auction. Click here to see what's driving the art world crazy from coast to coast.

The mixed media work measures 36 x 48".

The value of clean water is immeasurable.

Zip It

Owning a car is a luxury in a bustling city where parking is scarce, space at a garage can cost as much as your monthly rent and insurance premiums are sky high. Enter Zipcar, the world's largest car share service. You can rent a car for as little, or as long as you want; with convenient pick up locations all over the city.

Zipcar has been supporting local events and charities since its inception. Currently, New York City residents can bid on a membership and driving credit package to benefit Charity Water.

Clean drinking water is a necessity, not a luxury.

On the Edge: House of Diehl

House of Diehl is the partnership of MJ Diehl and Roman Milisic. Producing "statment-making" fashion design and multimedia experiences, their revolutionary work transcends the boundaries between fashion, art, music, and performance.

House of Diehl has exhibited and performed in a range of international arenas: with Sonic Youth at the Greenspace Festival in Spain, alongside Elton John and Liza Minnelli, and many, many, more.

House of Diehl uses fashion as a vehicle for a larger social agenda: individual identity, communication, and community.

Where Fashion Meets Fabulous: Harriet's Alter Ego

Beyond offering the worldly woman wildly fashionable clothing and accessories you'd-sell-your-soul-for, Harriet’s Alter Ego can pamper her body with natural body care products, enlighten her mind with art featured in their gallery, ease her spirit through yoga classes and reprieves in the boutiques garden as well as dress the men in her life.

For owners Hekima Hapa and Ngozi Odita, Harriet’s is the idea that fashion should be functional. For their faithful following, however, Harriet’s is a way of life. And although each year their line and boutique concept continually evolves, Harriet’s approach has remained unconventionally classic. A testament to time well spent and design well done.

Harriet’s Alter Ego, truly a lifestyle brand where fashion imitates life.

Harriet's supports clean water in Africa, and you should too! Click here!

A (Much Needed) Peace Treaty

Friends Farah Malik and Dana Arbib created A Peace Treaty using the juxtaposition of their differing backgrounds (Malik is a Pakistani Muslim and Arbib a Libyan Jew) and their shared interest in high-fashion and ancient craftsmanship. It is an evolving collection aimed at creating beautiful, ethically produced, artisan-level accessories and apparel.

We are so excited to have this exquisite stole shown above at our Charity Water Auction! It has red, green, clementine, purple, and blue stripes with silver tila yarn detail. It measures 80x42" and is hand-loomed in 100% cotton.
