A Colorful Cause: Celebrity Designer Program

Lilly Pulitzer, in celebration of its 50th Anniversary Jubilee, is proud to present A Colorful Cause: Celebrity Designer Program. In an effort to bring a little color and a little happiness into people’s lives Lilly-supporters and caring mothers: Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooke Shields, Debra Messing, Marcia Cross, Angie Harmon, Bridget Moynahan, Catherine Bell, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon have come together in honor of Lilly Pulitzer’s milestone to create limited-edition, one-of-a-kind designs for A Colorful Cause. This celebrity designer program is helping to raise funds and awareness for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare inherited skin disease which affects young children.

Whom You Know and Peachy Deegan LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LILLY PULITZER!!!!!!!!

These celebrity designers-for-a-day have worked with Lilly Pulitzer’s design team to create limited-edition Mother/Daughter/Son looks using iconic Lilly Pulitzer prints. From poolside perfect dresses and tunics to beach-ready bathing suits and cover ups, the coordinating ensembles capture the true resort chic spirit of the Lilly Pulitzer brand. The exclusive designs created for A Colorful Cause are part of the brand’s Summer 2009 Jubilee Collection celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the brand. Fifteen percent of proceeds from the designs created for A Colorful Cause support The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation (EBMRF: www.ebkids.org).

“We’ve always been a brand about happy times with family and friends and by working with this great group of celebrity mothers who have created designs for A Colorful Cause, we are able to continue to spread that happiness,” said James Bradbeer, Jr. president of Lilly Pulitzer. “Our 50th Anniversary has given us a chance to celebrate our past, but through this program and the designs these women have created, we’re able to give Lilly Lovers a look towards our next 50 years. We are honored to have these influential celebrities as partners in our Jubilee, but we are more humbled by their efforts to help raise funds through A Colorful Cause for our friends at EBMRF,” said Bradbeer.

“On behalf of the EBMRF, we are thrilled to partner with Lilly Pulitzer on such a colorful and worthwhile project. Their support, as well as the participation of all the moms, will go a long way in our continued efforts to find a cure for EB,” said Andrea Pett-Joseph, Executive Vice President of EBMRF.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
