History
Kenneth Cole founded the company in 1982, initially launching a footwear line from a parked trailer in Manhattan to bypass permit restrictions. The brand gained historical significance through its early and consistent integration of social activism into public messaging, particularly regarding HIV/AIDS awareness. This approach shifted industry standards for corporate social responsibility. Over decades, the label expanded from footwear into full apparel and accessories, maintaining a presence in the global retail landscape.Family
