Fascinated by the intersection of fashion and philanthropy, she is interested in celebrating individuals and firms who use the financial capacity of the luxury industry to fund philanthropic efforts.  Henna volunteers for charity:water, a non-profit organization that brings clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Kate in NYC during summer 2009

Kate L. Matelan has been co-editor since July 2010 after graduating from Bucknell University with a B.S. in Business Administration.

Her passion for fashion, beauty, and writing flourished while serving as Editor-in-Chief of Bucknell’s fashion magazine, Be.  The combination of witty print and continuous creativity has inspired her to continue providing material to an audience always wanting to know more.

As a former leader of a breast cancer support group, Kate came to understand the meaning of truly giving back.  She was able to connect with women wanting answers to health and beauty questions while striving to let their inner and outer beauty shine.  Always on the lookout for pink ribbon products, she finds the blending of the luxury industry with philanthropy to be the ideal combination.  Giving back and feeding your own fashion fetish can now go hand in hand effortlessly.
