The brand also has a mission to donate a pair of shoes to someone in need for every pair sold.<\/p>\n<p>The style was inspired by Kravitz\u2019s one-of-a-kind-design aesthetic and his dedication to creative and low-impact living.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The thing a lot of people don&#8217;t know about Lenny isn&#8217;t just his amazing personal taste in fashion and style, but he also designs wallpaper and furniture, and he sees a bigger picture,&#8221; Mycoskie says.<\/p>\n<p>Kravitz worked as a guest creative director with Mycoskie and the TOMS\u2019 in-house design team. According to Mycoskie,Kravitz&#8217;s greatest contribution to the collection was to add woven prints, including lyrics from his hit song &#8220;Let Love Rule&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Kravitz says the basic Toms look &#8211; fabric shoes that aren&#8217;t frilly or overly structured &#8211; fits his wardrobe, even if &#8220;they remind me a little of the shoes my mom would wear in the &#8217;70s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Sources: Samantha Critchell Associated Press and TOMS Blog<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lenny Kravitz says if his name is on it, then his influence is genuine, and that includes the new collection of Bahamas-beach-modern Toms shoes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[46,82],"class_list":["post-21941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-style","tag-celebrities","tag-fashion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21941\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
