Yes, the salad kind. Moment was pushing a shopping cart through the aisles of Whole Foods when inspiration struck—thanks to a bottle of charity-focused Newman’s Own. “There was nothing like that brand for fashion,” explains the good-hearted style maven. A quick phone call to BFF and cofounder Sally Fowler (both are former Gappers), and Philanthropist was set in motion. <BR/><BR/>In the spirit of Blue Eyes’ line of prepared foods, the Pre sidio Heights shop donates all proceeds to local nonprofits. Each season, as new collections arrive, a different beneficiary is chosen (first up is family shelter Raphael House, paired with Phil anthropist’s fall designs). This boutique doesn’t look like a charity case, though: Kendall Wilkinson Design created the interior, complete with chinoiserie wall paper, vintage chandeliers, and a champagne bar. Plus, the space is stocked with pulse-raising lines like Richard Chai, Doo.ri, Zac Posen, Tom Binns, and Rag & Bone. Now you can truly wear your heart on your sleeve.—Robin Wilkey 3571 Sacramento St., S.F., philanthropistboutique.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
