Matthew McConaughey Creates Clothing Line for a Good Cause


Matthew McConaughey wants you to feel good about the clothes you wear.
OK, so the shirtless wonder isn't exactly leading by example—but we're not exactly complaining, either!

In this ironic endeavor, Matthew is launching a men's activewear line which features—wait for it—all different kinds of shirts! There are quick-dry T-shirts, polo shirts, long-sleeve shirts, tops with UV protection, pullovers, windbreakers and even rash guards.

Don't worry though, Matthew's got your bottom half covered, too. The clothing line also offers oil- and water-repellent pants, flip-flops and more.
Named for Matthew and Camila's "Just Keep Livin' Foundation," which provides fitness and wellness programs for public schools, the line will simply be called "JKL." And, as if starting his own charity wasn't cool enough, the do-gooder has pledged to give 10 percent of the proceeds from the line to the foundation.

The items range from $30-$100 and will be offered exclusively at 150 Dillard's stores starting next month, branching out to other retailers in the fall.


While this is uncharted territory for the talented actor, he is excited about the project, telling Women's Wear Daily, "This is my first adventure into the fashion world…I'm enjoying it so far. I like working on the details, the design, the marketing. And I think the JKL philosophy is what makes it unique."

Matthew says that he won't be modeling the clothes himself in any official capacity, but we'll just have to keep a close eye on him to see if he sports any of the apparel in his everyday life.

Hey, it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!

House Of Holland Launches Charity Collection


HOUSE OF HOLLAND has teamed up with eBay to create a limited edition capsule collection, with all proceeds going towards Cancer Research UK. The four-piece range features a colourful rave wave print, taken from the label's autumn/winter 2013-14 collection - which will be showcased in full on Saturday February 16.

"This is the second season that I'm working with eBay, having initially worked with them coming through the BFC's Fashion Forward scheme," said Henry Holland. "The capsule collection has been inspired by my autumn/winter 2013-14 collection and I am excited to take House of Holland to a wider audience and bring fans a key print from my upcoming show early."

The offering comprises a T-shirt bearing one of Holland's witty slogans; a figure-hugging dress; tights and an iPhone case - for those who aren't quite ready to try the label's daring new print. The collection will go on sale exclusively on ebay.co.uk on Saturday February 16 at 7pm and will run until midnight on Sunday February 24.

"Cancer Research UK is a charity that is very close to my heart - I am always keen to support them in any way I can and am thrilled the proceeds of the collection will be going to them," said Holland.
