maria sharapova takes a break from the us open to fete her cole haan collection

Maria Sharapova has been working with Cole Haan for a while now (I can attest to her ballet flats being just about the comfiest shoes around). Last night the tennis star (looking flawless in a Suno dress) and Interview Magazine headed to the top of the New Museum to fete her fall collection for Cole Haan. If there is any tennis star that should be designing a shoe collection its Sharapova–she is famed for designing her own tennis outfits for matches. Her athletic prowess comes into play in the collection  as well–all of the shoes come complete with Nike Air cushioning.

Todd Selby, who shot Cole Haan’s latest campaign came to the event, having donated prints that were being auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Penny Harvest. It was the perfect summer evening. Guests wandered about looking at the fall collection, grabbed an oversized lollipop from the candy bar and a mini bottle of champagne and headed out to the terrace to enjoy the evening view. With the craziness of fashion week just around the corner, it may be the last evening of solace for quite a while.

A shameless photo of the candy bar. Too yummy for words!
