We've crushed on Tory Burch ever since the recent Hearst 30 Days of Fashion dinner (we were featured as one of the Fashion Insiders in the fabulous supplement & enjoyed sitting next to the equally fabulous EIC of Esquire, David Granger). In a fun, on-stage interview with Harper's Bazaar EIC, Glenda Bailey, Tory revealed that one of her fantasy dinner guests is one of our absolute fave authors: Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Then we found out she also believes, like us, that culottes are about the worst fashion trend of all time. And now, she may just surpass French Vogue's Carine Roitfeld on our Girl Crush Foodchain because she is using her considerable prestige and clout for charity: Tory Burch Volume 1: Save the Children - the first in a series of compilation CDs to help raise awareness and money for charitable organizations around the world.
100% of the proceeds will be donated to Save The Children, an organization that drives lasting change in the lives of needy children in the US and around the world. Julie Mehretu, an emerging contemporary artist who was born in Ethiopia, contributed to the cover art, while the eclectic playlist includes a variety of musical styles and artists from rock, to jazz, to reggae, and world music:
- Youssou N’Dour – Wake Up (It’s Africa Calling)
- Kirsty Maccoll – In These Shoes
- The Black Lips – Veni Vidi Vici
- James Hunter – People Gonna Talk
- The Puppini Sisters – Heart of Glass
- Kristoffer Ragnstam – Man Overboard
- The Cure – Just Like Heaven
- The Virgins – Fernando Pando
- Tim Keegan - Survivor
- Pixies – Where Is My Mind
- The Kills – Goodnight Bad Morning
- Peter Sarstedt – Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)
- Estelle – Come Over
- Amadou and Mariam – Politic Amagni
