<p>Jimmy Choo, the third member of the shoe triumvirate (Jimmy,<a href="http://makeluxurycount.com/2009/07/12/you-asked-blahnik-and-louboutin-help-endangered-thai-elephants/" target="_blank"> Manolo &amp; Christian</a>) has joined the others in creating a line for charity.</p>
<p>Choo has partnered with the <a href="http://www.ejaf.org/" target="_blank">Elton John AIDS Foundation</a> to support the <a href="http://doctorswithoutborders.org/news/article_print.cfm?id=927" target="_blank">Simelela Rape Center</a> in South Africa  by donating 25% of all proceeds from his new line to the center.</p>

<p>The Simelela Rape Center was created to address the physical and emotional needs of rape victims in its South African community. Sexual violence is a huge problem there and Simelela offers hope to women in their darkest hour providing post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV transmission prevention and trauma counseling.</p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Sergio Rossi Eco pump &#8211; proceeds go to Goodplanet</dd>
</div>
<p>Launched in conjunction with the release of the environmental movie <em>Home</em>, PPR-owned <a href="http://www.sergiorossi.com" target="_blank">Sergio Rossi</a> has created the <em>Eco Pump</em> from largely recycable and biodegradable materials.</p>
<p>Partnering with a German company specializing in alternative materials and environmentally-sound practices, the heel is somehow made of liquid wood using a high strength &#8220;compression process.&#8221; The sole uses non chemically processed leather and even the packaging is biodegradable. I think the shoe is simple and elegant enough, but the heel looks very interesting and makes the shoe special.</p>
<p>Sergio Rossi is donating part of the proceeds from these shoes to <a href="http://www.goodplanet.org/en/" target="_blank">Goodplanet.org</a>. Founded in 2005, the charity promotes a more environmentally, socially and economically responsible way of living while searching for &#8216;concrete solutions to the earth&#8217;s ecological crisis.&#8217;</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">Louboutin Rodita sandal (only 100 made), $895 – 100% of proceeds benefit Asian elephant rescue</p></div>
<p>Legendary (or maybe even life-changing depending on whom you ask) shoe designers, <a href="http://www.christianlouboutin.com/" target="_blank">Christian Louboutin</a> and <a href="http://www.manoloblahnik.com/start.html" target="_blank">Manolo Blahnik</a> have created two gorgeous sandals to benefit the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation in Thailand.</p>
<p>The shoes can be purchased exclusively from Footcandy on-line.  There seems to be enough stock for the Rihanna-esque, pink zippered, not-at-all-appropriate-for-work  <a href="http://www.footcandyshoes.com/istar.asp?a=6&amp;id=RODITA%21LOU&amp;csurl=%2Fistar.asp%3Fa%3D29%26manufacturer%3DLOU%26group%3Dnew%26" target="_blank">Louboutins</a>. As for the wild leopard pony-hair <a href="http://www.footcandyshoes.com/istar.asp?a=6&amp;id=LINARESCUE%21BLA&amp;csurl=%2Fistar.asp%3Fa%3D29%26search%3Dmanolo*%2Bblahnik*%26view%3Dmanolo%2Bblahnik%26submit.x%3D0%26submit.y%3D0%26" target="_blank">Manolos</a>, there’s good news and bad. The good is that they are on massive sale; the bad is that there is only a size 10.5 left.</p>
<p>I think Carrie Bradshaw would approve of both. As for the cause, alright, I can see her snickering a little but then I’m sure Samantha would say something witty about designers and their fabulous causes.</p>
<p>Actually, the<a href="http://www.helpingelephants.org/" target="_blank"> Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation</a> does quite a bit to rescue elephants that have been abused and create a safe haven for them. Baby elephants are in special need of rescue as they are (unbelievably) cute and so are taken into the big cities to turn a profit for the owner by providing entertainment for people. Unfortunately, the owners realize that the little elephants are too much trouble to care for and abandon them in the city.</p>
