Stunned by the tremendous amount of devastation to their country, the Japanese are showing true signs of desperation.  With more than 8,199 deaths recorded, the toll is rising as more than 13,000 people are listed as missing persons. After being hit by a 9.0 Earthquake, Japan was shocked by a Tsunami shortly after on March 11, 2011.  While there are search and rescue efforts that have been reoccuring since the date of this natural disaster, there is still much need for help.  

While this seems to be a world away from the United States, and half a world away from some of us, there are still many ways in which we can help.  Of course, leave it to the big hearted souls of the Fashion industry to think of charitable ways to offer Japan signs of compassion; the fashionable way. 

In the wake of disaster in Japan, these designers have found a way to contribute both in charity, and to your closet in a way that can be philanthropic and fashionable.
