Starbucks is launching a Mini Starbucks Card designed by Project Runway winner Christian Siriano. The Christian Siriano Mini Starbucks Card will be available in participating stores nationwide and in Canada on November 17, 2009.
Christian Siriano said, "One of the things I love about fashion is that it can change the way you feel inside and out. Put on a fabulous little something and you feel like a new lady! Giving back is the same - it changes what's going on in your life because it changes what's going in your heart. It's true, people! This year, the Card design that I created with Starbucks is all about putting the spirit of fashion and giving into your life for the Holidays. And maybe a Frappuccino Blended beverage, too. I can't get enough of those!!"
As part of the collaboration Starbucks made a donation in honor of Christian Siriano to The Art of Elysium, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization founded in 1997, which encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. In addition to the one-time donation, Starbucks is supporting Christian's workshop with five lucky girls to help design and create dresses for them to wear to the charity's annual gala in January.
