NEW YORK, Aug 24, 2010 / FW/ — Launched last year, the Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan collection continues its momentum as versatile accessories for a girl on the go.

Cole Haan and Interview Magazine will celebrate the launch of international tennis champion Maria Sharapova’s Fall 2010 collection just days before she steps onto the court to compete in the U.S. Open.

As part of the fête, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction of signed prints by Todd Selby, with 100% of the proceeds from the silent auction to benefit Common Cents, creators of the Penny Harvest.

Sharapova’s collaboration with Cole Haan began with sketches, mood boards, and inspirations from the tennis star. Maria’s on-the-go, international lifestyle inspired this chic collection.

Maria infused aspects of her playful personality into every detail of the line from the polished buckles of the shoes, to the leather wrapped chain straps of the handbags.
