Angelina Jolie: Actress, Mother, U.N. Goodwill Ambassador and Designer?

Posted: 06 Dec 2010 07:00 AM PST

When you think of actresses-turned-designers Angelina Jolie’s name is not the first one that comes to mind. The Olsens? Sure. Emma Watson? That makes sense. But Jolie? Being Brad Pitt’s partner, mother of an ever-expanding rainbow brood and her work as a U.N. ambassador stand out over her style (not that she doesn’t look chic in those black drapey dresses).

Each participant was to create a unique look incorporating a Cozy, the brand's cult-worthy cardi-wrap. DKNY's experienced major success with the multi-functional sweater—how many single items of clothing merit their own iPhone app, after all?—and being creative with the cardigans truly was half the fun of the game. Cut to two floors' worth of bloggers tying, belting, draping, and twisting their wraps every which way. I even contemplated wearing my turquoise Cozy turban-style—points for originality?—but eventually ditched the idea in favor of layering the knit with the snowy sequined tee and shaggy fur vest I'd scooped up.
